Hello,

You can access your own home folder using your NAS account credentials. If you enter them into the Windows credential manager for the PC, then you can access it automatically, and also map it to a drive letter. The path in file explorer is the same as the path for any share (\\nas-name\username ).
If you want to map home itself to a drive letter (so you can see the home folders for all users), then you need to use the NAS admin account for the credentials.

Use the actual IP address and admin password of course. Be careful on spaces and the slash direction. This assumes that your data volume is the default ("data") and that you haven't using the default admin password of password.
You can use \\nas-ip-address\data\home\username if you only want to map a specific home folder (or \\nas-ip-address\data if you want to map the full data volume)
- Hello Stephen. But not as far back as XP!! Anyway I got "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" Funny that using those very same credentials I can login via frountview and via SSH (shell in a box). Thanks Ian.
- Forgot one line in the error I got....... System error 1326 has occurred. Sorry about missing that.
