On your first screen it shows the shared options greyed out. This is what you need to access to enable sharing to all users. This is enable the NAS box to access the folder.

Okay....maybe sharing C: isn't the most secure thing.  I was under the impression that in order view anything on C:, you'd have to "Share" C: as a whole, but maybe the setting is just viewing root. 

I'm still not having luck....so I'm going to use a similar example a user used earlier in the post (instead of sharing C:)...

I created "BackupFolder" on C:, Share it, resolves to \\ASUS-PC\BackupFolder


** I struck out my username **




But I get FAIL:

Can I poke an idea where.

Try renaming Asus-PC to AsusPC  , remove the -

Some systems/Os's don't like symbols like '-' in file or folder names.

Do I have to tweak anything in my "Advanced Sharing Settings" ?
(if you right-click on the Network icon, then the "Change advanced sharing settings" on the left side list)

Under "Home or Work (current profile)", I have:

Network discover: Turn on...
File and printer sharing: Turn on...
Public folder sharing: Turn on sharing so anyone...
Media streaming: Allowed
File sharing connections: Use 128-bit encryption...
Password protected sharing: Turn off...
HomeGroup connections: Allow Windows to manage...


Also....is everyone part of a HomeGroup?
And is my Workgroup setting of "WORKGROUP" fine?

I'm just throwing a bunch of settings out there for suggestions on changing....if you can help, please do!

Those settings are the same as mine. I do have homegroup set up. This is how I transfer files to and from other window 7 PC's on the network..

Simple question, can you actually transfer files to and from your NAS box using explorer? Also can you stream media from the NAS box to a xbox or PS3 (if you have a similar UPNP device)

Is your NAS box connected to a router too? Might be worth connecting the NAS box directly by cable to the computer and trying - I wonder if its the router blocking the connection!

Yes, the NAS is fine under Explorer. I've copied files to and from the NAS via Explorer.  And I'm able to stream via the PS3 and iTunes recognizes the NAS as a Shared device.

It's just the LAN Backups I'm having issues with  :-[

Lets 100% eliminate the router as a problem, connect the NAS box directly to the computer LAN port and try. I am sure it won't work but try it

I had actually thrown my hands in the air with this - purely frustrated.  Good to see that it is still being worked on.

I gave up and used the Total Recovery Pro software that came bundled with the box had to get some backup working.

Would LOVE to have this resolved so I can use all the attributes of the 323, only reason I went from manual backups with a dual bay Vantec was D-Links reputation.

I will have a work through the above and report back.

For the past two weeks my back up stopped working. Got a little fed up again trying to resolve this.

Just had another bash at it and found Windows have activated password sharing in the advanced sharing settings in control panel. Turned it off and back up working again :-)
