Cannot access ReadyNAS 104 shares from PCs
Hello all, I have been trying to solve an issue with access to my ReadyNAS104 shares for quite a long time now with no success so far. It is running firmware 6.9.3. I have two machines, one is a work laptop that normally connects to a domain and one is a personal laptop that has no domain or workgroup. Both Win 10 Pro. The problem is that when I attempt to connect to the NAS in Windows explorer, I see the following prompt. I have tried several different combinations of username / password to no avail. My goal in the short term would be to get back to a situation where I have 'open access' for anyone on the network to access any share. Once that is working, I would like to make it so that one named user can access all shares and one guest named user can access just one folder perhaps. I've presented some screenshots of my NAS config here in case it helps. The articles linked below seem to be similar to my problem but maybe not exactly the same: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Cannot-access-readyNAS-shares-on-a-home-workgroup-when/m-p/1018098 https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/domain-user-access/m-p/846795 https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyCLOUD/Cannot-access-ReadyNAS-shares-after-Win10-Fall-Creators-Update/m-p/1404006#M9426
Windows 10 Install: no longer able to access NAS shares
Hi, I upgraded 3 days a go to Windows 10 Enterprise build 16299. It was an installation from scratch I sadly have no longer access to any of my SMB shares. Access was working on Windows 7: see image below - I tried dropping to SMB1 in SMB Application + reboot both PC and NAS: no success - I disabled IPV6 under LAN adapter in Windows 10: no success - I enabled every sharing option under Windows 10 for both Private and Public networks: no success Using cmd in admin console to map the network share: net use * /delete net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password Under the shell cmd, I have access to the shares and their listing through drive T: However, it is wired that Explorer GUI cannot access to the T: drive. So I still cannot see my shares in GUI Under Explorer, I can see the NAS: - under "Media Devices", and brows the DLNA folders - under "Storage", double clicking brings the NAS web admin GUI - under "Computer", named correctly "NAS-01": but if I try to access the shares it gives me a "Network access error" I attach above the image with my error Please help me fix this asap, I am lost and really need the SMB access to manage my backups
ProSafe FVG318
I had a nice wi-fi network set up on my rural 7 acres, back in 2011. A fire, on 01/15/13, wiped it all out. I was able to replace the fvg318 router; and, got things set up with that for the limited usage I needed since then; but, I no longer needed to use the access control list feature. Now, I've been able to replace the WAG302 access points and antennas; and, I'm trying to recreate what I had before. THEN, I was running ME & (later) Vista; and, the friend who lives on the west end of my property was running XP. Now, I'm running Win 10 and he's running Win 8. I don't remember my security set-up back then, other than the fact that I had to use the ACL to prevent other computers in the area from trying to "connect to the best signal." In setting things back up (as best I can), I'm running into a problem of my Netgear equip not wanting to let me use an access control list using anything other than WEP-PSK encription; and, it appears that Win 8 &10 no longer support WEP... With a FVG318 router and 2 WAG302 AP's, am I missing an option to use the ACL with an encription system that Win 8 & 10 support? I should add: 1) I have fairly severe fibromyalgia; and, when I push too hard physically, my IQ drops by 25~50%. It's entirely likely that I'm missing something that would be very obvious to me when I wasn't in a fibro-fog... 2) Getting newer equipment is NOT an option - I'm a disabled senior, on a subsistence level income. Plus, this "legacy" equipment does a job that any of the newer equipment simply won't do, even if I did have the means to afford it. (My 7 acres is a long, skinny strip with lots of trees and a steep declining topographical grade.) I'm not sure if this post actually posted; or, if it just got saved; but, I'll go ahead and risk "re-posting" it; since, (hopefully) I've now resolved the problem. From what I could tell, the main problem stemmed from either a page loading glitch; or, a brain loading glitch. When I went back tonight and tried again, I was able to change over to WPA and WPA2 (TKIP + AES Encryption) [then, set up the passkey] from the Network Configuration > Wireless Settings page. This time, everything was back to normal on the "Setup Access List" page. I've only reconfigured the router and 1 AP; and, I'll have to wait till tomorrow to do any outside testing; but, both laptops are now working on Wi-Fi off the router. I hope this helps someone else with a similar problem. :)
