Hi Jotin, thanks for the reply.
I have tried restoring to factory defaults twice, but after reconfiguration the issues re-appear.
Another problem I am also getting is that two identically configured (aside from obvious IP address and hostname) units (one with v1.10 and v1.21) react differently to XP, Server 2003, 7 and Vista systems.
The following two LS-CH500L units have a 'managers' group, a 'jbloggs' user within the group and an nsadmin user.
They also have two shares, one called 'z' which is read/write accessible to all (ie: public), and a 'confidential' share which is only read/write accessible to the 'managers' group and the 'nasadmin' user.
v1.10 Unit
The setup works PERFECTLY. Windows XP, Vista Home Premium, 7 and Server 2003 can browse to the share fine and when a user attempts to enter the 'confidential' area it correctly requests the username and password credentials for authentication.
v1.21 Unit
- VISTA: Doesn't allow access to the shares at all, by attempting to browse to \\10.11.22.102. Error: "The file can not be accessed by the system."
- VISTA: After using regedit to change 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel' from '3' to '1', VISTA connects to the share but requests a username and password before displaying anything (even the public folder 'z'). Once I enter the 'nasadmin' user details it then displays the available folders. I can browse the 'z' folder fine, but it requests another username and password to access 'confidential' if I attempt to access it. Providing the details for 'jbloggs' refuses access, with the following error: "\\10.11.22.102\confidential is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource..."
- WINDOWS 7: Doesn't allow access to the share at all, by attempting to browse to \\10.11.22.102. Error: "The file can not be accessed by the system."
- WINDOWS SERVER 2003: Works perfectly.
So, this begs the question, what in the Hell is wrong with v1.21?! And PLEASE tell me how I can downgrade back to v1.10?
Thanks.
Elliot
