Hi,
I'd appreciate some advice please.
I recently bought a superuniti and have this playing internet radio only at the moment, while waiting to get a NAS to start ripping to and playing from.
I now have a ReadyNas set up and (hopefully) ready to go.
The problem is that when I set the SU to 'UPnP' (or 'PC' using the remote) it's not picking anything up. Do I have to configure something else to make the SU and NAS talk to each other?
(Don't know if this is important, but both units are hardwired to my hub with powerline connection. This seems to be working OK as the SU indicates 'connected'.).
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Thanks Dave,
I'd like to be able to try this out, but my MacBook is now totally blocking me access to the NAS. When I try to get to the NAS set up page it keeps saying the username and password I entered for a particular IP address is not recognised (but the IP address isn't the NAS, or the MacBook or the SuperUniti or anything else I can think of - I even had the laptop's system do a search!).
What little hair I have is rapidly going .... I naively thought this would be easy!!
Sorry for the rant - as I said, thanks for your earlier advice.
All the best.

Hi Percy, have you managed to get into the NAS yet? If not, the username and password might be "admin". There are websites that show the default usernames and passwords that various units are delivered with - no use if you changed the information and forgot (we've all been there).
I'm no expert on NASs (?) but I had to enable Upnp on my QNAP NAS and then it found everything. The QNAP uses Twonky and I have no idea how to control it but that's another story.
Good luck !!

Sorry Matthew I should have updated you (this topic merged into another thread).
I did manage to get the connection sorted out (I think) but needed to call Netgear's support line a couple of times. Firstly I had to use 'connect as' tab at the top right of the Finder screen to log in properly to the Nas (I should have seen that!).
Then I had problems accessing the Nas' main control screen.
It seems this second problem was mainly because - apparently - Safari (the Mac's browser) sometimes blocks access to items it's not familiar with. So I had to download Google's browser and get into the Nas from there. It's very frustrating how 'precious' these Mac's seem to be about anything not purchased directly from Apple!
Thanks for your help and interest with this. Now to try and get down to some ripping .......
Cheers.
