RN202 connection does not accept username/password

[RudolfJan]

Hi, I just started using a new RN202. Setup works fine, Updated to the latest firmware version. I created a folder and want to connect using a drive letter form my Windows 10 desktop.

The first step works fine, it accepts the share name: //Nas2/media/Gebruikers

For the share I switched on SMB and anonymous access

The Windows asks for a "reference"  user and password

I tried to:

a) ignore it

b) use the admin username and password

c) create a user,and enter that username/password

tried my windows username (not password protected)

Nothing seems to work. How do I get access? It is nowhere described in a simple way in the software manual.

I want anonymous access without password.

So, not very happy at the moment. This takes far too much time.

Hope someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance.

For some reason it is working now. No idea what went wrong.

You have the slashes backwards - \\Nas2\media\Gebruikers

It shouldn't need a user account (unless the PC user logon happens to match a user acount on the NAS).

Try running cmd in windows and type

net use * /delete

net use t: \\Nas2\media

That ought to map the media share to the "t" drive letter.

Thanks for answering so fast. Unfortunately this does not solve the problem. I would like to include some screenshots, but it the image options have been grayed, so I will try giving as much detail as possible on what I see:

In the shares tab, I have three shares:

Home folders. Protocols SMB, DLNA, permissions admin (I cannot change the permisions here)

Gebruikers, protocols SMB, permissions anonymous

Backup, protocols SMB, permissions anonymous

Properties for "Gebruikers" Network access tab (SMB):

Security All

User group everyone: Read/write

User group users: no access set (I only can set it to read)

User admin: access read/write

Hosts: nothing set

DFS: nothing set

Advanced: nothing set

Using the commands as you instructed cause following effect:

net use * /delete:

 says nothing in use

net use t: \\Nas2\media

requests a user name and password, but does not accept the admin user/password

So what am I missing?
