I have windows 7 and I am trying to access a share that is only available to a user called user1.  when I go to the share via explorer I get presented with a login box and when I type in the user credentials I get "\\nas\share is not accessible".  I know the password is correct and have changed the password 5 times in the nas menu.  if I get rid of the user in the share screen it works just fine.  Any ideas?

Found this thread, tried the suggestions and no dice

Any ideas?

OK, let me clarify the situation.  You have user shares enabled and user level security enabled, correct?  You have a user named 'user1' and you have a share that is only accessible by 'user1'.  How did you configure that share?  Did you export it as read-only and add an exception for user1?  Or some other configuration?  If needed, just post a screenshot of your settings for that share.

Thanks for asking for more information

 

Share Security = User Level

User Shares = Enabled

 

Share name = Backup

Export SMB = Export read/right, hidden

Allocation method = High-water

Valid users = user1

 

Everything else for that share is blank, there are only two users: root and user1

Try this & report back the results.  On the Windows PC, open a command window and type this:

 

net use /delete *

 

Then access share, enter your 'user1' username and password.

Thank you very much for that, guess the cache in windows was being a jerk.  That command allowed me to enter in to the directory.

 

OK so it worked fine until I rebooted and then it happened again just like before.  I know the delete command works but I have 10 shares that I would have to recreate and that is too much trouble to do every reboot.  Any ideas on how to permenantly fix this?

This is a Windows networking limitation which has been there since at least Windows98.  I think you can get around it by using the same user name on unRAID as you do for your windows login.

OK, I will just write a script that clears and then creates the shares at boot. 

 

Thanks!
