I was surprise to be asked for user name and password when viewing the share via windows when GUEST OPTION is checked.
By default, Windows will present the windows log on/password to the NAS. If there is a credential stored in the credential manager that will be presented.
There are three cases:
(a) the presented logon does not match a NAS account.
In this case, the PC gets "guest access"
(b) The presented logon matches a NAS account, and the password does also.
In this case the PC gets whatever access the NAS account allows.
(c) The presented logon matches a NAS account, but the password does not.
In this case, the logon fails, and you get prompted for a logon/password.

My other issues issue that I am getting permission denied errors when I mount the share on another system.
How are you mounting the share?
Is this happening on all files, or just some folders and files.

I am mounting the share via fstab,
//192.168.101.3/Media /mnt/NasOne cifs username=USER1,password=PASSWORD1,rw,iocharset=utf8,uid=1004,gid=1004 0 0
1 – Create USER1 on NAS and change UID to match on both systems. (Same user name, Same Password)
2- Mount NAS Share as USER1 (Working)
3 – Check write permission on Mounted NAS Volume. Working, with read/Write
4 – Checked permission of the Downloaded file to make sure it was R/W
5 – Checked the service to make sure it is running as the same user
“USER1 1128 0.4 0.2 1731016 40376 ? Sl 08:08 0:02 /usr/bin/python CouchPotato.py --quiet --daemon --pid_file=/home/USER1/.couchpotato/couchpotato.pid –dat”
6 – Checked the mount premonition with the mount command
“//192.168.101.3/Media on /mnt/NasOne type cifs (rw)”[/list]When folders are create with the user1 account they are created with no write permission.
What I am I missing? ARGGGGG!!!! Thank you for the assistance.
