WDTV Streaming Read Access rights vs. Admin Write Backup

Got it! If I restrict write access to the WDTV via option b) or c), will it still be able to write any metada it finds say for a movie search? I assume it tries to store that on the NAS where it got the movie file from. Just thought about that....

Per the above....I restricted my "everyone" access on a share and then tried to access it from the PC. As expected a login popped up. I used the same username and password I use to login to the NAS (the "admin" login) and it would not give me access. I also tried to set it up in windows credentials and the same popup would not give me access. There is one popup that asks for the network password for the NAS...I provide the "admin" username and my password, then another popup asks for the "network password" to connect to the NAS. This is the typical windows username pref-filled in and a password box. My password won't get me past this to connect.

Since you said my admin account would not get me to the files via explorer, do I take this to mean I should just setup my own new user say called "admin" and give it access to everything and then windows and windows explorer could connect to this new "user"?

Thanks...sorrry for the additional questions. I understood exactly what you said, it is just not responding as expected.
