Must enter username/password to access NAS

Hello, I have 3 PC machines running Windows. With 2 of them I do not need to enter an username/password when accessing the network drive through explorer. On one of the machines, which is completely reinstalled, I must enter a username and password everytime I want to access the drive through explorer. Why?? There is an option to save the credentials but when logged in as an admin (since I don't have any other users) I also see the volumes. On the other 2 machines do not see the volumes nor have I ever had to log in. I believe the RN 102 asking for credentials started after a firmware update. (The 2 pc's not asking for credentials have not been reinstalled recently) Thanks, Daniel

I finally fixed it. It took a lot of digging to find the right posts but here it is:

"With newer OS'es like Windows 7, Windows 8 / 8.1 and OSX Snow Leopard, the "Share" security mode featured on some older ReadyNAS devices like the NV+ is unfortunately no longer supported. The solution to the problems this causes is to migrate the ReadyNAS to "User" security mode. In "User" mode, individual user accounts are created on the NAS for each person that will access it. That user account is then granted appropriate access to shares, rather than the shares themselves being password protected. To migrate to "User" mode, 3 major steps are required:

Change Mode
Create a User for you to access the NAS
Fix permissions so that new user account has full access to the data, as before.
