Cannot access Shares on windows network
Hi
I am new to this forum and apologise if this post is in the wrong section but it seems the closest to the problem I am encountering
I have a Ready NAs Duo that is connected to a windows network but can no longer be accessed from my PC . It can be seen as a storage device on the network but clicking on this just takes me to Frontview.
Clicking on the NAS name in My computer gives an error message ' Windows cannot access \\NAS-CE-8B-51. Check spelling of the name....'
Although Raidar will locate the device, clicking on 'browse' tab will give the same error message after about 2o secs i.e windows cannot access ...
I am running Win 7 Pro
Radiator 4.1.14
I can access my files after enabling HTTP protocol but this isn't ideal
In network settings I am using values from a DHCP server
I am on the same workgroup
CIFS enabled
AFP and NFS currently disabled although they have been enabled in the past allowing access from Mac
I have tried rebooting NAs
Disabling and enabling CIFS
I am not particularly tech savvy and would really appreciate any help/pointers to get my access back
Thanks

- NhellieVirtuosocan you try \\IP_adress ?
- GD_69AspirantSorry you mean typing \\IP address of router?
If so tried that but 'windows cannot find'
https://192.168.1.5 gets me to Frontview not files - NhellieVirtuosono, \\IP of readynas
just open a windows file explorer and type it there. - GD_69AspirantNo luck
windows file explorer displays the Ready Nas under Computer, Media Device and Storage
I cannot access any of them apart from going to Frontview
Tried \\IP address but no success - NhellieVirtuosotry performing an OS reinstall:

NOTE: This will bring IP back on DHCP mode and reset the admin password to default. - GD_69AspirantOk Thanks I will try that
I backed up a couple of months ago- I'm assuming OS reinstall won't affect data? - GD_69AspirantHi
Really sorry Its actually an RND2100v2
Do you have a link for OS reinstall for this please as I can't find it on Netgear site
Thanks again for your help - NhellieVirtuosono, it shouldn't, but it is always good to have a backup.
