PLEASE HELP Mapping error the network name is no longer available ReadyNas 2100
Please help me determine what could cause a mapping issue I am seeing with my readynas 2100. Info: I have an active directory system I am putting the Readynas on for a data backup to a recorder. This system is a communicaiton system for a county I am working. The system is an active directory GPO based system. I have join the Readynas 2100 to the domain and synced it with my NTP. All is good there. The NAS has even pulled all the accounts from AD as you would expect. I then created a fileshare on this NAS. I can access the file share via I.E. (Internet Explorer.) I plan to use the file share I created as a location for backup of one of the machines on the domain. I have tried to map the network drive from a machine on the domain and encounter an error stating that this network drive name is no longer available. I cannot get past this point on any of the machines on the domain. Strange enough if I remote into the system with my personaly machine I can map the drive with no issue on my local PC. What would cause the Machines on the domain to not be allowed or get the name no longer exsist error when trying to map the fileshare? I have tried it on many different windows platforms on the domain with no luck. I have also disable microsoft client signed messages, local security policy via AD gpo and this didnt help. I cannot for the life of me find anything that could help. I cant use netgear support as the contract has been long expired. Netgear refuses to assist any furthure without buying a support contract. This isnt my equipment or my companys equipment. So the county would have to foot the bill and I would like to explorer the knowledge base on the community as was recomended to me.561Views0likes1Comment
LACP no longer working on RN516 running 6.7.5
LACP bonding no longer seems to work with my RN516 on 6.7.5, the switch shows only one interface up, as if the teaming is Active Backup, not LACP. The MTU keeps resetting to 1500 from 9000, as if that is the only thing it can get to work and all the uplink gear supports jumbo frame so that shouldn't be an issue. Have tried dissolving the bond, resetting all the MTUs and re-bonding, but it still doesn't work. Works just fine on my RN626X, so possibly a model specific issue. Hash setting is L2 on both models, switch is a XS728T on firmware 6.5.1.30. Advice?6.9KViews0likes26CommentsRN214 - No IP address after 6.6.1 Update
Hi Guys, I'm in need of some assistance. I've just updated the rn214 to 6.6.1 and the nas now states no ip address on the front panel. A shutdown has not made any difference. It's directly connected to the router and was working fine before the update. Any suggestions?Solved5.6KViews0likes11CommentsMapping readynas to readynas
Is there a way to link/map/share a drive on one ReadyNAS unit directly to another ReadyNAS unit without having a computer between the two? I run SABNZBD on one of my units and I want it to put the downloaded file in a different location depending on what the file is. In SAB, you can filter the files by user defined category. How can I map a drive from one unit to the other to make moving files easier?Solved4.2KViews0likes13Comments
ReadyNas NV+v2 no network connection
I've got an issue with a NV+ V2. All was working fine until yesterday, when I lost all network connectivity in the room with this in - After some diagnostics, I swapped out the switch that fed everything, and everything else in the room (Laptop, PC, and a media player on the TV) is fine, again. But the ReadyNAS that was also connected to the switch remains inaccessible. I have power cycled it (power off with the button, wait, press again to come back on) and done same with a removal of mains while off, just in case, to no avail. The system *looks* like it is working; it boots up and shows me the IP address that it has (Static assigned) and correctly notices if I disconnect the LAN cable. However nothing else in the house can access it - it's not even replying to Pings, and RAIDar doesn't spot it. Both ReadyNAS and switch show link lights, and I've tried a different cable. And whilst obviously this is a new switch, I've tried different ports just to make sure! Is there anything else I can try? Is this likely to be a dead ethernet port? (So, did the switch fail and take out the ReadyNAs, or the otehr way around?) Or does it support a usb ethernet adapter so I can still access it? Thanks....3.1KViews0likes3CommentsCannot access the ReadyNAS through network after update to 6.5.1
My ReadyNAS has been running without any problems for months, and after upgrading to the latest firmware (6.5.1), suddenly my mapped network drives are not accessible. I tried mapping a new drive, it says "element not found". The other devices on my network (phone, media player) can access the files from the NAS just fine, and the same goes if I login in my readynas admin page. But for some reason, it's not allowing me to access the network at all. I tried putting \\defnas\disk1 on my file explorer (defnas is the name of my nas), it says windows cannot access that. I tried the ip, I get the same message. HOWEVER, when i tried this command: net use t: \\192.168.1.15\disk1 /user:admin password it DOES map the drive and I can access it using file explorer, but when I try the exact same command (with a different drive letter obviously) but using my other disks, so for example /disk2 , it says "System error 5 has occured, access is denied". I'm driving myself nuts!Solved4.6KViews0likes13CommentsUnable to change MTU, Readynas 104 OS6.4.1
I was attempting to adjust my MTU down from 1500 to 1472 or 1483 in order to troubleshoot network performance issues, and the UI rejected the changes with Error 4004019998. Does anyone know what this error means and how I can resolve it to change my MTU?4.6KViews0likes16Comments
Copying large 4K video files to RN104
I have gigabit ethernet and router and am trying to determine if my copy speed makes sense. I have moved to 4K video so of course these are large files: .5GB, 1GB even up to 5GB. I am copying from SD cards attached to a fast windows computer via USB3.0 I am getting copy speeds of around 1.00 MB/s to 1.3 MB/s. Is this a reasonable copy speed? I never really worried about it too much or noticed copying over smaller files. Is there a recommended tool other than windows file explorer as I am not comfortable queing up too many files this size over a long period due to file explorer's quirkiness. I used to use Terracopy but not sure how updated that is. Anyway, a general read on those speeds would be great and what utility is safest to use. I better get my backups done and put in those larger drives I bought for the NAS! Thanks, BJBSolved3KViews0likes3Comments
Losing internet connection constantly
Firmware 6.4.0 ReadyNAS RN2120-100NAS The scenario was that the volume was reporting near full but I was only using 1/8 of the available space. I found that it was the Snapshot feature for each share, so I began to manually delete them. Then I discovered that after every 10-20 deletions I had to go to the device and cycle the power because I'd lost network connectivity. I'd read somewhere that it could be because I was logged in from two different locations (Via browsers) but logging out did not resolve the problem. Now that I have all the snapshots deleted, the issue persists even when I'm not making any changes to the device. The problem is not isolated to disconnectivity from the admin panel as pinging the device fails as well. Visually, when the connectivity freezes, the Network lights for both NICs become and remain solid on both the front and rear of the device. I have a partnered device that works just fine and, clearly, when the network is properly functioning, the LEDs should be blinking. Has anyone been experiencing this problem? I've had the device exactly 15 months so I'm a little dissappointed that it is just recently out of warranty.4.3KViews0likes6Comments
