Windows 7 Folder Access

Hi all and thanks again for the replies.

Well tonight I discovered something interesting. I've not changed any settings from default in W7 or altered the registry because I can't!

Running my laptop and PC side by side - both running W7 Home Premium. Started both up from cold.

With my laptop, I navigated to Windows Explorer, then Network, then my NAS. At this point, the Windows Security popup appears. I actually entered the credentials for the user I manually created which I granted sole access to one of the shares (along with the default "admin"). It accepted the username and password and let me into my share and access the files inside - the one I disabled anonymous access to - hooray!

On the PC I did the same - except I used the "Admin" account (which I use to log in to the NAS firmware menu) at the point where I first click on the NAS from my Network. (this is what I have been doing normally) Two different things then happen:

1. I see all the shares in Windows Explorer plus two which don't seem to exist on the actual NAS Firmware menu - "data" and "home". Neither of which I can get into. I didn't see these two shares in the previous step.
2. If I click on the share which I got access to using my manually created user as described above, it doesn't work. From here, it doesn't accept the manually created user or admin account

So it seems that when accessing the NAS for the first time since a clean boot, I need to use the manually created user account which is sort of OK but just really odd that the built in admin account doesn't work.

I now wonder whether I have misunderstood something - does the NAS firmware "Admin" account equal/correspond to the "admin" account you see under the share "network access" settings ? If they are different, how would I know what the network access "admin" account password is?

Also, does anyone know what the "data" and "home" shares are?
