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...
I honestly don't know what to suggest.
I've never encountered such an issue under Win XP, Linux or OSX when accessing either of my 2 NAS. Given the large number of similar complaints from Win 7 users targeting other Samba based servers and even true Windows systems I'm strongly inclined to believe this is a Windows 7 issue that is not at all specific to ReadyNAS.
Question: Do you really need to map a drive? I had not noticed this issue previously as I don't use mapped drives in Windows, instead preferring to use UNC paths which I don't have an issue with. ie use \\nas\share rather than z: Maybe this would be a suitable workaround - at least in the short term
