Mapping A Share Fails to Connect At Startup
I am using Windows 7 I access my ReadyNAS Duo via Frontview I created one user: user1 and one group: users I have one share: files The share has been set with the following permissions: CIFS...
Hmm.
The option to connect using different credentials is because by default, it will connect with your Windows logon details. So yes, you should do that when you first set up a mapped drive. The way I do it is to check both of those boxes before even browsing for the folder I want to map. Once I enter my Nas Admin creds (I use absolute paths ie: \\192.168.1.x\home\<user>\folder1) it immediately opens this new resource/drive in a new window. (I guess to confirm that's what I wanted)
I have no problems with reconnecting at logon.
Have you tried the command line batch (manual) reconnect at logon approach? (found in the wiki under "shares")
