What steps did you take to create the share?  Is the Windows XP account you're using an Admin or Standard User?  Did you select "connect using a different user name" when creating the share?  Did you use the Easy Search Utility?

The interesting thing here is I see the same thing with Windows XP-Home, however all the Windows 7 Ultimate machines and an XP-Pro machine have no problem logging into the DNS-323.  I'm working on this one too.

I'll be following this to see if there's a solution...

[gunrunnerjohn]

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.

Is that a command specific to XP home or something?

Net use does not allow you to specify a password - it has to be typed manually, after the net use has run. You can create a VB script to get around this but the net command alone will not work.

The guest account issue is due to a local policy restricting access to network resources.  The same policy also disables the sharing tab in folder properties.

So to clarify, the guest account in the windows logon window has nothing at-all to do with the DNS-323.

Pass-through may well work - in which case the net use command without the password would likely work.  I.e. if you logon to your XP devise using joe and password blogs - create an account on the nas called joe with the password blogs and simply use 'net use * \\nas\share' and it should work.

You can replace * with a drive letter if you want too - net use x: \\nas\share, for example.

[gunrunnerjohn]

Really, mine allows a password.

The syntax of this command is:

NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
        [/USER:[domainname\]username]
        [/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
        [/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
        [/SMARTCARD]
        [/SAVECRED]
        [[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

[SnapperNZ]

LOL  So does mine!

I stand corrected, my apologies.

I mistakenly recalled an issue trying to script 'net use' but needing to hide the password.  I ended up using a runas utility which used an encrypted password file.

It wouldn't have taken long to check net use either, would it!  I am sorry, rubbish research on my behalf 

I'll get me coat

If that's the only mistake you make, feel lucky.
