After buying a new Macbook Air (w/ Lion), I was having the usual issues connecting to my ReadyNas (the beta firmware helped a ton). Particularly, I couldn't connect with ReadyNas Remote, which is a problem, given I'm away from home for the next 6 months. I was able to remotely update the firmware to 4.1.8 the other day, and I was optimistic the ReadyNas Remote problem would be fixed, especially with the following verbiage from the readynas.com website (see bullet 6):
New features and enhancements 1. Added support for Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”. 2. Added warning when NFS access to home shares is enabled. 3. Added a redirect for http://<host>/ip to https. 4. Added enhancements to advanced AFP permission settings. 5. Provide download links for exported users and groups instead of asking for email. 6. Updated ReadyNAS Remote to the latest revision.
However, I still could not connect with ReadyNas Remote, and after revisiting the webpage dedicated to that software, I didn't see a new version to download. I decided to attempt to delete/reinstall my version of ReadyNas Remote (which, according to the page is for Leopard/SL), but got the following warning:
"The Installation Failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
Right now, I can boot in Windows 7 (on my MBA) and access ReadyNas Remote just fine, but it's a PITA to reboot just to access a couple of files.
After perusing the forum, I haven't seen anyone else with this issue, post-4.1.8 (although I did find posts prior to 4.1.8). Any thoughts? I thought the software was supposed to work with Lion now.
This issue goes back to last year when the 64bit processors were introduced. Netgear's response is to boot up in 32bit mode which is a crock and just shows that they don't care to support apple products.
