hi jamie,
thanks for you time and concern.
it DID work now with XP (just tried on XP), i tried it last night. Once you browse the nas, it will prompt for the user/password, it accepts the user and password (same user and password on the windows login.
But i noticed something, if i will restart the pc, it cannot mapped drives, it says credential are not correct.
but when i use the explorer to browse it, it will prompt for credential (user and password), and when i key in same user and password as in windows login, it can go in.
How come it cannot go in or mapped the drives after windows login?
i will try again tonight after work, i will send some screen grabs too.
