Cant Access New Share

Hi there.

Running ReadyNas NV+ RAIDiator 4.1.12 [1.00a043]


I have the 2 STD shares backup and media all working great.
Today I tryed to add a 3rd share. I added it without a PW and set the the permissions the same as the first 2 but every time i try to access it with windows explorer it asks for a name and PW. I have tried a few times, rebooted NAS and pc, even
setup a share with a PW and still cant access it? What the hell is going on? Surly this should not be this hard?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks


Steven

  • Please change security mode from "share" to "user" since there are some incompatible issues between Share mode and Win7 OS.
  • Thanks for the reply

    Will doing that upset and of my existing shares?
  • don't worry about the shares,changing security mode won't touch any data it just modifies samba configuration to meet Win7 authentication method.
