Unable to access users home directories from windows 7
Hi, I have been using a Netgear X6 at home for media and family storage for about 8 years and decided to upgrade to a RN204. I give myself read/write access to all the media and my home director...
Problem escalated to level 3 support.
They confirmed the symptoms and we solved it by renaming each user to user1 and then back to user whereupon each user in turn started working as expected.
I did this for my account and I get the same behaviour.
Windows user id & password == NAS user id & password
The behaviour is also the same from a Linux VM that also has the same user id and password as the NAS. The home directory is just not visible.
What happens if you try running cmd and enter
net use * /delete
net use z: \\ipaddress\username /user:username userpassword
Interesting: -
C:\Windows\system32>net use z: \\192.168.0.230\Dad /user:Dad WrongPassword
System error 86 has occurred.The specified network password is not correct.
C:\Windows\system32>net use z: \\192.168.0.230\Dad /user:Dad CorrectPassword
System error 5 has occurred.Access is denied.
To me this means something is not correct with the SAMBA settings on the NAS
And from the logs (smbd) there is nothing wrong with the authentication :-
