keeps asking for user name and password
« on: August 19, 2009, 09:08:12 AM »

I can access my DNS-321 a user name that I have set up but every folder I want to open up it asks me for my user name and password. I think this should just ask me the first time and not ask me again. has anyone else ran into this problem. It seems to happen more when I use firefox but it has happened with IE8 also.

Jeff, i will assume you are using Windows.

Create a batch file in your STARTUP folder, lets call it dns_pswd.bat, to contain the following line:

net use \\192.168.1.240 ppppp /user:uuuuuuu

ppppp is your password, uuuuuuu is your user name, and the 192.168.1.240 (true in my config) is the ip address of your dns-321.
After a reboot, or if you just execute the bat file, .... That should fix it for you, except then it will NEVER ask for the password, and always know what is supposed to be.

Good luck.

I think you might want to add /PERSISTENT:YES to that command. :)  That way you can just run it once and it'll be remembered.

I retract my comment, for some reason adding the /PERSISTENT:YES causes an odd problem on XP-Home after you reboot.  I defer to your original suggestion, since it appears to solve his problem anyway. :)
