SMB not working any more after 6.5.0 upgrade
After having upgraded my ReadyNas, I can't access anymore to any of the SMB shares.
I backed up all data, reinstall OS, performed a factory reset and recreated shares. I also deleted all NAS-related Windows Ids on my computer, without any result.
FTP and SSH work fine, I can also reach my data through ReadyCloud.
Hello and Thank you JennC, I found the solution : I deleted all the netgear entries in Windows identities management, and created a new one with the right credentials. Everything went instantly fine.
My shares were all allowed an anonymous access, but it was impossible to reach the NAS neither trhough its DNS name nor through its IP address. All of these operations are now ok.

Hello Hans45,
What's the operating system of the computer you are using to access the NAS shares via SMB?
Try setting at least one share's SMB permission to Allow anonymous access and access the NAS shares \\ followed by the NAS IP. Once you are able to get in to the share, go back to the root directory and try opening other shares.
Can you also log out the ReadyCloud desktop client then access the NAS shares locally?
