You should be setting user security mode not domain mode. Share owner admin. You have set read/write access for all users and everyone? Your windows PC user and password are the same as that on the NAS? You have reset all permissions as mdgm has instructed?

Correct, i was explaining how I got into this ridiculous situation. I went from Share mode to Domain, and realized it wasn't a good idea. Went back to Share and all was screwed up. I read that Share mode doesn't really work now, especially with Win7, so I went with User mode to get it up and running.

I did not reset it with "Share folder owner" to admin, I tried it with my username, so at least I could have full rights, but no go. I'll repeat the process now with "admin" in the spot for "Share folder owner". Share folder Group i'll put "users". Everything else is set default to "Read/write" Check the "Set ownership and permission for existing files...blah blah".

Then click apply. Just curious, but I'm guessing the "admin" account is a built in one that is hidden from the user list? I just did it and am waiting on a pop up to say finished, am I supposed to get one?

Doesn't appear to have worked. When I go into certain folders I need to update, it throws up a "You need permission to perform this action". This is when trying to create a simple new .txt file for testing. Ug!
