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...
My attempt at mapping the drive (using the same methodology as the attempt that worked) failed to reconnect at startup so it doesn't fix the mapping issue. So I will go back to UNC and use that. The only downside that I can tell is the 11 or so seconds it takes to "connect" and start playing a music file with itunes. Once connected it seems speedy enough though. I am not sure why it would take so long to pass credentials and connect. I just built this PC using the latest components including an SSD drive so everything happens almost instantly except for this.
I am still disappointed after all my work to setup my PC and the NAS drive correctly that the final problem that brought the whole thing to a halt was not being able to map a network share... Come on Microsoft!
Thanks sphardy!
