How to map a network drive using ReadyNAS OS 6.x.x
Greetings,
I'm very sorry for my lame question. I even searched Your forums for the answer, but most of You guys use the ReadyNAS Duo system, not the one I have. Also, I read the users manual, spent more than 60 minutes with it, but never figured out. Would some one be so kind and explain me how do I connect a folder [I made a folder named "public" accessible for everyone/full control] to windows network drive?
In general, I tried the iP adress of the NAS dash [/] name of the folder and/also iP/admin/public but I was unsuccessfull. Any idea what am I doing wrong? Please advise and have patience with my mongrelness in configuring the Netgear ReadyNAS systems. So far I worked only with BFU systems where I had the icon "map the network drive" so I just had to click it :/ my apologies,
thank You for Your eventual replies!
Regards

- You probably need to switch dashes...
For Example:\\10.10.10.10\public
- Oh, let me try that :)
that's just for main configuration
I tried in explorer [not msie, just explorer] the following:
192.168.1.235/public
192.168.1.235/data/public
192.168.1.235/admin/public
192.168.1.235/admin/data/public
192.168.1.235\public
192.168.1.235\data\public
192.168.1.235\admin\public
192.168.1.235\admin\data\public
This is always the result:
Not Found
The requested URL /admin/data/public was not found on this server.
none worked :/...what do I do wrong?
Thank You!
uplink - You forgot leading doubledashes...
\\
Copy & paste exactly as follows to the explorer adress bar:\\192.168.1.235\public

This makes me wonder, are you trying to access it with Internet Explorer or Web browser?
If you enter 192.168.1.235\admin\data\public, explorer opens Internet Explorer, and you get the URL message from IE. Just entering the IP address does the same.Etz wrote: uplink wrote:

As posted, the correct syntax is \\192.168.1.235\public
Or just enter \\192.168.1.235, and then navigate to the share you want.- You're great guys! Even easier than on other NAS systems. Thank You! Works like charm!
