Suddenly Can't Connect via NFS/Windows 7
Hello,
This is kind of a weird one. I've had the Ultra 6 set up and working great for about six months now. Suddenly last night, I lost the ability to connect to it on both my Windows 7 computer and the two Boxee Boxes we have in the house. I'm not even able to connect using the web utility on the Windows machine. What's really odd though is that I can connect to the Ultra 6 using my Mac computer, no problem. I can also get the Boxee to connect using AFP and UPnP. But since I need the ability to stream 1080p files (20gb or more) both of those solutions won't work. Plus I need to be able to manage the server using my Windows computer. Any advice? I've made sure that firmware is updated across the board, and I've restarted everything several times.
Thanks in advance for your help!
EDIT- A little bit more info. The Windows and Boxee machines are hooked up to the router via MOCA Adapters, and are therefore a hardwired connection. When I attempt to connect via WiFi, I have no trouble getting in, and can access files on my Windows computer. So it seems like it's something with the ethernet connection to the devices. But I just switched out the router, and I'm still getting the same problem.

- I Fixed It! It seems like the sharing permissions got screwed up (not sure how that happened, but whatever) this fixed it:
Login to the readynas. Go to Shares, then Share Listing. Click NFS next to the share you need to fix. The choose the Advanced Options tab and check the box Set ownership and permissions... that reset all the permissions and made everything work again. Proceed with caution though if you have an advanced set up, since this will reset it. Hope this helps anyone else with this problem!
