When you connect to the locked-down NAS share that logon is rejected, so you get the password prompt. But since Windows can't maintain two logons to the same resource, you get the multiple connections error.
However, Windows doesn't know that the \\nas and \\ipaddress are the same resource, so you don't get the error in that case.
You can probably avoid this by going into the Windows Credentials Manager (control panel) and entering the NAS username\password for the NAS.
Question if I may, and please note, I am really not trying to hijack this thread.
I *THINK* Im having a similar problem. I have a ReadyNAS Ultra4 that was all set up and running no problems. I got a new laptop, installed Raidar and all that. I can click on my NETWORK and see my NAS so I created a shortcut to the desk top.
When I go into the different file sections that I created I am unable to move files around.
When I try to move files I get a "Destination Folder Access Denied"
You need permission to perform this action.
Now, I was able to pull up that Windows Credentials Manager, but what it seems to be looking for a location or a address or something.. Am I correct? And if so what do I put? Do I use the stock address of the NAS?
