Mapping Drive - Windows Vista x64
« on: March 03, 2010, 05:31:46 AM »

Hi,

I've been banging my head on this for 2 days already.

1) I can map a drive and everything works fine with my XP machine with NAS set on Static IP.
2) My vista machine can ping the NAS and see the web interface
3) Vista Machine won't map the drive through Windows method nor the Easy Search method.
4) Tried the "net use \\192.168.1.xxx\Volume_1 password /user" - didn't work either.
5) Disabled IPv6
6) Changed "Network security: LAN Manager authentication level" to "Send LM and NTLM"
7) All firewalls and antiviruses are off. (Using windows firewall and avast)

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can do Start->Network from Vista and click on the NAS drive to expand it, you should be able to right-click Volume_1 and do map network drive from there.
Cheers

Can you access the drive by browsing to it?

Yes, it works like a normal network drive supporting drag & drop, double-click etc.  One need to create a user with password (through Advanced tab, Users/Group) and all access rights (Network Access).
I want to confirm that the same operations (map, drap&drop,viewing text file etc.) can be done on Windows 7 as well.

I have no issues mapping drives on Windows 7, so that's a sample of one. :D

Can't see it from network. But I can ping it though.
