Permissions over Network

It appears that the only user set up on the NAS is the built-in admin account. Given your configuration, your ownership issues will likely recur (even if you do a factory reset). The simplest workaround is to use Windows Credentials (control panel app) to set up the windows PCs to use the NAS admin account when they access the NAS. That is simple to do. You can also set up users on the NAS - one for each PC, matching the windows logon and the windows password. I'd go with windows credentials myself.

Hi Stephen,

I just saw your post of Thu Apr 10, 2014 6:44 am. Yes, I only have the built-in admin account.

I don't see Windows Credentials on my XP SP3 PC in Control Panel (didn't look at both XP PCs). In Win7, there's a Credential Manager. I did a quick Google on Windows Credentials XP. It said to use Run and type in rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr. It talked about making changes to things already there. But since I'd be adding the ReadyNAS, a guideline of steps would be appreciated. I'm sorry I'm so illiterate about this stuff.

For XP, would I use:
Server = IP Address
UN = admin
PW = Blank? or the PW I created for logging in to the ReadyNAS Duo via RAIRar?

With this info, I can recreate it in Win7.

BTW, I am saving your instructions into a document for future reference. :D

Thanks again.
