Greetings, I am trying to determine the best approach to setup my user (and groups if necessary) and permissions on my Readynas102 on OS6 and a WDTV Live Streamming device. I will be using the NAS...

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...
I changed SMB security for an RN102-hosted share. Everyone is not checked, admin and one other user are set to read/write.
I can access that share correctly using admin credentials - no password prompt appears.
I have the exact same share settings. Only read/write on this one share (backup) is on admin.
When I click on admin in explorer, it asks for username and password. I put it in, and NOW, I get the generic windows box that says "NAS is not accessible. you might now have permission.........".
So it is not respecting the fact that I have logged in as admin from windows for some reason. Again, not sure if it matters that I have no windows username or password setup.
Perhaps I need to setup a user called "admin2" or something and login from the computer as that specific user for windows use. But I have no idea why admin does not work. Of course admin via the web does get me in, etc...
Does the domain matter? Windows is listing as the domain my PC name....but I can't change that.
If I go back and open up the sharing for that folder then I can get back to it again in windows.
