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...
For some reason it is working now. No idea what went wrong.
You have the slashes backwards - \\Nas2\media\Gebruikers
It shouldn't need a user account (unless the PC user logon happens to match a user acount on the NAS).
Try running cmd in windows and type
net use * /delete
net use t: \\Nas2\media
That ought to map the media share to the "t" drive letter.
Thanks for answering so fast. Unfortunately this does not solve the problem. I would like to include some screenshots, but it the image options have been grayed, so I will try giving as much detail as possible on what I see:
In the shares tab, I have three shares:
Home folders. Protocols SMB, DLNA, permissions admin (I cannot change the permisions here)
Gebruikers, protocols SMB, permissions anonymous
Backup, protocols SMB, permissions anonymous
Properties for "Gebruikers" Network access tab (SMB):
Security All
User group everyone: Read/write
User group users: no access set (I only can set it to read)
User admin: access read/write
Hosts: nothing set
DFS: nothing set
Advanced: nothing set
Using the commands as you instructed cause following effect:
net use * /delete:
says nothing in use
net use t: \\Nas2\media
requests a user name and password, but does not accept the admin user/password
So what am I missing?
