Title: DNS-321 maps to desktop but not laptop
Post by: ryandee on October 23, 2009, 07:22:08 PM

I successfully mapped my DNS-321 to my desktop using the Easy Search Utility. However, I can't get my laptop to map the drive. Easy Search can see the drive and Volume_1 but when I try to connect, a login window appears requesting a username and password... ?? 

I can access the drive through "Configurations" and my admin password but that won't work for mapping. I've tried disabling the security software but that doesn't work either. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Create a batch job with the contents.

net use \\DNS-323 password /user:user_name

where:

DNS-323 - Network name of the DNS-323, or you can use the IP address of your NAS.
password - Password of the share you wish to access.
user_name - User name of the share you wish to access.

Run this at startup and you'll have access to the shares using XP-Home, and I presume the Vista Home versions as well.

Have you setup any users on the DNS-321 and applied them under the Network Access list?

Have you used the windows map drive utility as well?
