Hi, this is my first time posting in any type of forum so please bare with me. I have searched this forum and the user manual for my Net Gear Ultra 4 server for answers and could not find exactly wha...
You could set the default share access to "read-only" on the cifs page for each share. Then add "admin" as a write-enabled user.
Check first that guest access only allows read-only. Then go into windows credential manager on your PC, and delete any NAS credentials that are already stored, Then add two new ones (one for the IP address of the NAS and one for the name of the NAS). Use admin for the username and the NAS admin password. Then of course validate that those credentials work.
Try this on one share first, and then once it checks out apply it to the rest.
guys thanks for the replies. Linking the specific PC to the server was the step i was missing. I will be trying it out later today or tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes or if i have any other questions.
Also I appreciate the info regarding redundancy vs backup. I completely agree.
thanks
