ReadyNAS NV+ v2 not appearing in network folder on pc's!!
Hi!
I have been successfully using this device for over a 2 years now with no issue, it has one 3TB HDD with media files I use to serve to all room media players via network. It is still accessible via media players and for instance if I use Archos video on my android phone I can browse all files no problem however does not show in network folder (on 2 separate windows pcs) despite reboots of all network equipment and pcs. Also, to boot, I have for some reason changed the admin password during initial setup which I can't remember and the recovery tool successfully recovers password via an email I don't get SO...I cannot look into the Nas settings unless I reset the device which I will do if someone knows how to without losing HDD contents?
Very strange this? I have checked all security settings and disabled firewall to no avail, I'm in the dark here, does anyone have a torch?

If you do an OS reinstall ( not a factory default) using the boot menu, it will reset your admin password to netgear1 and it will reset your network settings to dhcp.
As for the nas not appearing on your PCs, this is a common problem related to master browsers on your LAN. If you type in the IP address of the nas you should be able to access it in explorer or a browser.

OS reinstall should also help you with some network browsing issue as it clears and resets your network settings to DHCP, should be like a fresh connection.
