Login to ReadyNAS / map a network drive
Hi all,
I am own a ReadyNAS 2120v2 since some days and updated the OS to 6.24. The device is called 'altair' in my network'. The ReadyNAS has some shared folders with enabled SMB protocol.
Now I have some trouble with accounts. I creates one called 'tl' with a password. Now when I try to open \\altair\ in the Windows Explorer and login with my admin credentials it will work fine. But if I try it with 'tl' and there credentials it does not work. I tested it in the browser to but it is the result - no access with 'tl'.
PS: My Windows operating systems are Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 - it is the same problem on both OSs.
What must I check to solve this problem?

Have you configured SMB on your shares so the user can access at least one of them?
Yes I configured it. It is no problem to access the shares via admin account.

Does "not work" mean that the log on fails?
Or does it mean that you aren't getting the file access you expect?
It means that the log on fails. Windows asks me again and again for my credentials.
