Hi, Im a newbie to network and just got my DNS-323 setup (FW: 1.07), setup on DHCP behind a linksysG router.

Now my problem is with the user/groups.  Anytime I connect to 323 from Windows PC, a login user name password window come up, but the USER NAME section is locked down to GUEST.  I cannot input the user name I've created in 323   

Should I be able to connect to 323 with ANY user accounts I've created in 323, regardless of my windows login id? 

Any suggestion would be much 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.

Thanks for the suggestion, but doesn't this batch job defeat the purpose of assigning different users with different level of access? 

Is my current logon situation common to most people who use the DNS-323? I was under the impression that I can limit user access to different users prior to purchasing this product.

Networking for home versions of Windows is somewhat limited.  For Pro, turn off Simple Sharing.
