New RN202 with a Mac Questions
I am just setting up a new ReadyNAS 202 and am having several issues. I have set up the admin account and also set myself up as a separate account as a "User" so I can interact from my Mac as a regular user but now I'm questioning if I need that account since I see that my admin ID (the ID I used to create the ReadyCloud account) has a private Home folder already. I have also set up a user account for my wife but I cvan't figure out how to connect her account to ReadyCloud. In looking on line, it says there should be a place to enter her email address since it is already in the system but the only place to enter her email is to invite her for full access but that results in an error message that her email is already in the system. How do I get her remote access as a user registered in the system? How does she actually "sign in" to the system the first time so that her private Home folder is created? Finally (for now), I have the ReadyNAS listed on the Finder sidebar three times under the Shared section. One is for the SMB connection, one for the AFP protocol and one is just a general connection. Is there a way to remove two of them? Also, none of them show the private Home folder that is set up as part of my admin ReadyCloud account. I've been trying to figure this out for a couple fo days and I'm pretty frustrated. Any help would be appreciatred. Thanks.Solved
RN202 connection does not accept username/password
Hi, I just started using a new RN202. Setup works fine, Updated to the latest firmware version. I created a folder and want to connect using a drive letter form my Windows 10 desktop. The first step works fine, it accepts the share name: //Nas2/media/Gebruikers For the share I switched on SMB and anonymous access The Windows asks for a "reference" user and password I tried to: a) ignore it b) use the admin username and password c) create a user,and enter that username/password tried my windows username (not password protected) Nothing seems to work. How do I get access? It is nowhere described in a simple way in the software manual. I want anonymous access without password. So, not very happy at the moment. This takes far too much time. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance. RudolfSolved
Newbie with Readynas 202 looking for point of contact...
I'm a newbie with a Readynas 202. I'd like a point of contact who can answer questions I have about basic set up and security, ready cloud for windows, questions I have about what the different abbreviations are in my settings..whether they should be on or off, what they mean , and when each protocol is used and for what purposes. My previous server was a HP EX487 Media Smart Server that had an awesome GUI and was EXTREMELY simple to use. All the menu items were clearly written in plain user friendly English. So basically. I know what I want to do, I know that the RN202 will do it, I just don't know where to begin. Probably the best thing for me to do is paste screen shots of my questions. I'd just like a single point of contact who'd be willing to guide me. I.m fairly good at self teaching through trial and error, but I'd really like to get my server set up and working ASAP.Solved
