When trying to give access permission in Windows Vista on a folder in DNS-323, I had the following error message:
"Le Programme ne peut pas ouvrir la boite de dialogue requise car il ne peut pas déterminer si l'ordinateur nommé "toaster" fait partie d'un domaine. Fermez ce message et essayez à nouveau"
In english, it must be something like: "The program can not open the required dialog box because it can not determine whether the computer named "toaster" is part of a domain. Close this message and try again"

Can someone help me??

Can someone help me??

You cannot set permissions on the DNS-323 that way. The manual isn't exactly crystal clear on this topic, but you might find the following PDF helpful:

Setup Guide for Shared Drive Access: Folders and Permissions

In addition, it might be worth checking out another PDF in the same location:

Troubleshooting: Connecting Windows Vista to shared drives and folders

I wouldn't expect the latter advice to make any difference to your issue, but it may save you other problems later.

Thanks a lot. I will check this later.

Other problem that I have, I'm trying to move "Public\Music" and "Public\Documents" to the NAS. Folders have been moved successfully, but I cannot see Music and Documents folders under Public in Windows. Maybe it cause by permission problem?!

Folders have been moved successfully, but I cannot see Music and Documents folders under Public in Windows

Doesn't sound entirely successful to me Which method did you use to move the files?? I know that Windows will allow you to specify a new location (via the Location tab of the Properties dialog for the folder) but I've never used that method myself so I'm not sure exactly what it does under the covers. If you issue this command from a command prompt:

dir /a: %public%

what do you see??

That's what I see:

C:\Users\Yanick>dir /a: %public%
 Le volume dans le lecteur C n'a pas de nom.
 Le numéro de série du volume est 8053-9F1D

 Répertoire de C:\Users\Public

I used the method from Location tab of the Properties dialog for the folder. How do you do? Which method did you use?

I used the method from Location tab of the Properties dialog for the folder

It looks like Windows has simply created two 'shortcuts' (the files with .LNK extensions). Do they work from Explorer??

How do you do? Which method did you use?

I don't have any of the system folders mapped to external locations but when I've moved them from my C partition (which is on an SSD with only 128GB, which I prefer to use for something more useful than, say, caching of Internet entities) to elsewhere on the local box I use junctions (or symbolic links if you prefer that nomenclature). I believe that MS supply command line tools to manage that sort of thing these days but I've been using JP Software's Take Command (or its predecessors) for pretty much as long as I've been using IBM-compatible PCs and that has had commands to handle such links for far longer than I can remember (a long-winded way of saying I can't give you an example command).
