Accessing shares with user account
Hello,
I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 with a single WD Red 3TB drive installed.
I am currently having issues gaining access from my Windows 7 PCs to the shares I have created on the drive. I am able to map the shares as network drives and connect without any issue, but when it comes to entering the account credentials, I am unable to gain access using the 'user' account details created for the NAS through the Frontview utility (under "User & Group Accounts").
In the Windows 7 dialog box, I am simply entering the "Name" and "Password" from Frontview into the "User name" and "Password" fields. However, the credentials are not accepted. The only way to access the share is using the 'admin' account, which are the same details I use to login to the Frontview utility in IE in the first place. I have checked to make sure all the access permissions are set correctly in Frontview (Read/write enabled for everyone under "advanced options" for each share).
Any ideas what could be causing the problem?
Thanks!

- Good.
Changing the password on the PC may have forced it to re-establish the smb connection.
If you have a PC on which you have not done the password change you could try simply rebooting or the dos command I posted to see if that works; academic really but may explain the behaviour.
