Hi All, I have a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ v2 that I set up back in 2012. On this drive I have stored a lot of old documents such as backup's of all my Uni notes etc. I havent used the NAS in a few ye...
Not sure why you are getting the 403 error. Is there internet security software running on the PC?
The shares on your NAS use the SMB 1 protocol, which is also being deprecated. If you are using windows, go into "turn Windows Features on or off", and enable the SMB 1 client on the PC. You'll get a security warning, but you'll need to proceed anyway. Then entering \\nas-ip-address in the file explorer address bar (using the the real IP address of course) should give you the share list.

Thanks Stephen,
The only thing I'm running is Windows Defender, so not sure about the 403 error either.
Thanks for your tip on the SMB client. That helped me at least gain access to the shares and retrieve my files. Looks like one of the drives is on its way out too so probably fortuitous timing to get everything off and back up elsewhere.
Again thanks for your help, I appreciate it!
