Hello all,
I seem to be having a problem with saving passwords for mapped drives to my DNS323 in Windows XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I went through the map drive dialog and successfully created the drive. I entered my target folder as \\IPAddressOfNAS\sharename. The "Reconnect at logon" option is checked. I select the "Connect using a different user name" option and enter my info there just as it's set up on the DNS323. After completing the map drive dialog and clicking finish, I can access the drive fine, no problems. However, after logging off or shutting down and the logging back in, when I go to open the mapped drive, XP prompts me for a username and password. I have tried going into "Manage my network passwords" under user accounts and adding credentials for the DNS323 with IPAddressOfNAS in the "Server" field, IPAddressOfNAS\username in the "User name:" field, and my password in the "Password:" field. This doesn't seem to do anything.
Anybody run into this? The thing that is driving me really crazy is that I have shares mapped on a different machine running Windows XP with all of the same updates, etc, and no problems. After a reboot of that box, everything connects back up fine, no username/password prompts.
