  • I'm sorry, i'm not sure i understand what your asking, really. But i'll try my best to answer. The addons-config share is accessed with the admin password for the NAS. I suppose the same is true for the root.

    I had an issue where 64bit Windows XP wouldn't let me log on, regardless, sorted by using a laptop with regular XP on it... Might have been a fluke, no idea.
    B!
