Users connecting with SMB
I am trying to set up user controlled access on my ReadyNAS.
I have set the host name
I have configured a user for myself (as member of users)
I have configured one of the shares to be read-only for anonymous and read/write for users and admin
I have configure authentication access type for local users and set the workgroup name
When I browse to that share, I am prompted to enter my network credentials. None of the following work:
hostname\username and password
workgroup name\username and password
Any suggestions?
I can't really explain why it happened, but after a reboot of the client I was trying to connect with, the connection let me in (remembered my credentials) and I was able to CRUD (create read update delete) files as expected.

Hello JordanThompson,
Do you get the same problem when mapping the NAS IP on another computer?
How about resetting permission of that share?

Hello JordanThompson,
Well, still glad that works now.
Probably something just blocked in somehow like a firewall on the computer, maybe?
