Hello,
Here is my setup:
Local Area Network contains computers and a Buffalo LinkStation LS-CHL-V2 storage device firmware version 1.21. In my original setup, one of the computers was a file server which held the user accounts for each of the other computers on the network. When any one of the computers tried to access a shared folder on the server, they weren't prompted for a username/password combo because their credentials were already stored on the server. However with this NAS, even though I have the usernames and passwords correctly set up with permissions, I'm still required to provide a username/password combo.
Here's what a typical attempt looks like:
* Username is "haha", password is "youwish"
1) Try and map a network drive to \\buffalo-nas\shared\
2) Get an error stating "password is incorrect"
3) Get a prompt asking for username (enters "haha")
4) Get a prompt asking for password (enters "youwish")
5) Done.
6) Remove network drives
7) Repeat procedure (I still get prompted for username/password)
Why is it asking me for credentials which should already be sent (and are correct)?
AMMENDMENT: The config didn't let me put in user names with spaces, so I had to change the user names after the fact on some of the computers (what was once "P.O.S Master" is now "POS_Master"). I don't know if that affects anything, but it's probably best I mention it anyways. On each computer I checked the system variable %username% and it's returning the correct value - so I really don't know why this isn't working.
