I have a Linkstation live 500GB which I can see using NASNavigator2 but I'm having trouble accessing it from my laptop over my network. If I connect the drive straight into my laptop it works perfectly but when connected through my router it keeps asking me for the "Username" & "Password". I have very little knowledge of networks etc so can anyone help me reslove this issue.
Thanks
Can anybody help with this??
Are you able to open up settings and access the "Users/Groups" tab?
If so, you should be able to set up at least one account for yourself, then give that account "read&write" privileges to all your folders under the "shared folders" tab.
In that case the username and password should be whatever you made them.
See page 60 of the owners manual.
I can open the web settings if thats what you mean.
I haven't made any users/passwords at all, I've reset to defaults for logging onto web settings page but thats it.
Probably about 25% of the times I try to access the NAS drive it lets me straight in without asking for a password etc but most of the time I get asked for one.
For info I have firmware 1.12 installed
