Windows access
I have been a user of the Netgear NAS systems before and ave just upgraded to the rh212, after previous system started to have PSU issues. I have th system setup and trying to orgainise the users and...
StephenB that almost worked.
I have a drive mapping T: which goes to the non anonymous share that works fine, select T and the drive seems to be shown. However if I use windows explorer to access the NAS, all other shares are OK, have anonymous access enabled. But try the same drive that is mapped or the USB disk again not anonymous then get enter network creditials with user name in mapping and windows credentials but no password, when correct password entered then get windows error
" <Nas name > is not accessible. you might not have permission to use......
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more tha one user name are not allowed. Disconnect....."

This is with the same user account you used to map to Drive T?
You can only use one credential at a time for the NAS IP or hostname.
StephenB have tried with a differnent user to access via windows explorer and also after removing the T mapping. It seems that the username and password to map drive but there is something wrong in file explorer

Just to clarify - your error message is telling you that you are trying to use two different credentials with the NAS at the same time (that is, access NAS shares with two different usernames)..
If you try to access the NAS using credentials for user1, then you cannot access it using credentials for user2 from the same machine unless you first terminate all the sessions for user1. That's a windows restriction - not the NAS.
So before you try using a different credential, you should open CMD and enter "net use /delete /y" again.
just tried the following:
1. Check sessions using net use, none found.
2. browse to nas drive, select share, get login box
3. entre correct login, windows error message
4. enter net use t: etc with same user name
5. drive mapping created which works fine
6. delete mapping
7. try 2 and 3 with same results
