WDTV Streaming Read Access rights vs. Admin Write Backup
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...

On the NAS do you have authentication set to "local users"? (that is what it should be set to). The authentication tab is on the accounts page. While you are there, you might also set the workgroup to match the workgroup name on your PCs.
On the Accounts>Authentication page, I do in fact have workgroup name set to the same workgroup as my network. I also have "Access Type" set to "Local Users".
I was also looking under shares again....I noticed under security they are at the default settings of "guest" for owner and group and Folder owner, folder group, and folder everyone rights are "read/write". Should that folder owner (of the folder I only want PC/admin acccess to) be admin? It is strange that the choice is typed in and not a drop-down. I never changed these. However on the access page again, I just have "admin" checked for read/write.
I appreciate you continuing to try to help me figure this out. I've been able to setup windows networks with multiple versions back to 3.1 and even mixed-window-version networking groups, but I can't seem to figure this out...which should be simpler!
Thanks again,
BJB
