I had my previous hard drive working and could see it from different pc'S  in the house.  I upgraded the hard drive and set it up on my desktop and everything seems fine.  I go to access the files from the laptops and i can see the sharecenter okay but then it prompts me for the password.  I have very carefully entered the password numerous times and it wont take.  Went to the wifes pc (vista) wont take password.

Rebooted the NAS, restarted the desktop and it again logs in okay to the NAS.  Same thing on both laptops win 7 and vista.  See the center okay but it wont take password and i know i am typing it correctly.  I even changed the password and went through the exact same process and only win 7 desktop, 64 bit can see the volumes.

I only have one user setup and access to just volume 1.  Guess it could be my other two pc's but not sure what to do.  Any ideas?

Just wanted to report back that after several changes of the passwords, reboots of the NAS, and reboots of the PC's everything can finally connect again.  Not sure why some devices could access with the exact same user ID and password that others would not work.  Does not make any sense, the NAS should not care who is connecting, only proper credentials.  Either way its working which is the important part.

Related problem/question regarding connections.  I have done some testing and noticed that I can have three + things connected to the NAS and it seems to do okay providing streaming or file reads.   If I am doing a write to the NAS I do start to have issues with the streaming.  Which I can understand that the horsepower of the NAS may not be sufficient. 

Normally i can try to do a work around if the kids are watching a movie and wait to transfer data over.  But it shows its ugly head when I run the a P2P process and try to stream something.  Sometimes smooth, sometimes choppy (think it depends on loads of the two).  If I try to get a third connection I can not connect and Win 7 troubleshooting it says "device refused the connection". 

I am assuming the NAS just can't handle it.  I know I can schedule the P2P within the NAS, but it is so random when we know we have conistent minimal use from the users.  I think my only two options are to hope we get a firmware upgrade with P2P throttle settings or upgrade to the 325.  Anyone have other suggestions or know if the 325 has enough horsepower to stream while doing a P2P?  Dont want to trade mine out and it is still short on HP.  If I do this, is it just a simple as putting my hard drive in the 325 and off i go?

Thanks!

The built-in P2P client is rather resource hungry, try switching to Transmission BT instead.

As for your password issue, try looking into Credential Manager if you're using Vista/Win7 OS.
