Hi Folks, I’m stumped… I’ve a PR4100 attached to a Win 11 PC. Everything seemed to be working well and I could access any of the Shares I’ve set up using either the Admin or my own UserID. My ID has permissions to access all shares.
To access from PC the process was : Double click on NAS, Double click on the Share, if it wasn’t public a credential box would pop up where I’d type in my id and my password and I’d be able to see the files.
Something has changed now and I have no clue as to what, now I cannot use the ID & Password as windows reports access denied.
If I make the share public I can see it but that isn’t what I want as there should be other id’s for the rest of the family with their own access rules.
I’ve tried:
rebooting (both devices), Deleting Windows credentials, checking smb box is checked in windows options.
I’ve set up a new user id on the nas, configured the password and enabled access. Same thing.
Help, I must be going daft but I don’t know what else to do ?
If using Windows 11 24H2 then see some of the following suggestions:
In another post in the OS3 My Cloud subforum a user reported the second link above’s powershell commands worked for them when they had access issues with Windows 11.
Its not so much a push for OneDrive but rather making security vulnerability fixes that affect Samba (SMB) on NAS devices that haven’t been updated. Its easy to blame Microsoft (or Apple), but in the end its also appropriate to levy some blame at the NAS vendors themselves for not updating the some times ancient code they use in their NAS operating systems to address security vulnerabilities or depreciated protocols.
