Multiple logins with same username working?
It used to be that you couldn't access a network share a second time, if you were logged in once already somewhere else. Now it appears you can. Did something change? is there a way to only all...

To be clear - the issue is accessing shares on the same NAS from a single PC using different logins. There is no problem accessing shares on the same NAS from different PCs, and no issue accessing different NAS from the same PC.
This problem still exists with Win7, I don't know about Win8.
There is a simple workaround if you want 2 logins - you can use the NAS hostname for one, and the NAS IP address for the other.
