Hi stagger321
I see you have like I, an LS220D and wonder if you could answer a question based on your experience.
My trouble is that I cannot access the shared folder on the LS220D as a network share from my media player..
Yes, I can map the shared folder to the windows desktop through the NasNavigator, and yes, I can also access the media files on the NAS if I activate the built-in 'twonky' media server on the Nas...
But all I want to do is access the Nas when it shows up as a network shared folder... (I have other buffalo Nas and they show up as a 'small network icon').. so my question is does yours and can you access the files..? does it ask for user + PW..? which PW..? admin of the Nas or network user+pw, or anonymous+blank?
thanks in advance for any help you can offer..
Hi doobre,
This all changed when Microsoft disabled SMB1 in Windows 10.
I assume this is what you have on your PC??
I also assume you have SMB2 enabled via the LS220D menus. and therefore as you say can setup the 'share' network drive via the NasNavigator.
To add other shares from the LS220 you can't get to them via the 'Network' icon in Windows Explorer, you need to manually add a new Mapped Drive.
This is done in Windows Explorer when on the ‘This PC’ icon.
Map the network drive to \\'IP address of your NAS'\'Share name'. (don't put in the quotes)
This works fine assuming you have granted sufficient access to that share on the LS220D.
Give it a go.
Cheers
Stagger.
