ReadyNAS 422 folders become invisible in Windows 10 - repeated behavior!

ReadyNAS 422 folders become invisible in Windows 10 - repeated behavior!

My ReadyNAS 422 is NOT reliably visible in Explorer. The drive can be seen in Explorer, but none of the files, folders or subfolders are visible.

 

n.b. I also have a ReadyNAS Duo V2 which is COMPLETELY accesssible and visible from Explorer.

Can you try this test:

 

Run CMD on the PC, and then enter

net use * /delete /y
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password

using the real NAS IP address and admin password of course.  If you aren't using XRAID, then you'll also need to use the actual NAS data volume name instead of "data".

 

The first command terminates any open SMB sessions on the PC.  The second attempts to map the full NAS data volume to drive letter T.

 

Let us know the results of this test, and we can proceed from there.

I actually found something (elsewhere on the boards, from you, actually) that worked!  Turns out that my NAS did not have the correct guest access.  I set up a correct Windows Credential in the Windows Credential Manager, and all is well!
