I've had my Unraid server for over a year now.  I've always had my main media share set to public. Wanting to have it a bit more secure I went to set it to private and add users. For some reason I couldn't get the users to authenticate consistently and was having issues with permissions. I set the folder back to public and still can't connect to it from my Windows 10 computer. I've run the permission repair tool on "all drives" and the "media shares" folder I have setup. It still won't let me connect to it and even the root username and password won't work. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks. 

root has no access to network shares except as a guest.

 

Windows / SMB won't allow more than one connection and if one has already been negotiated you can't get another even though it prompts you to login.

 

Go to Windows Control Panel - Credential Manager and delete all unRAID credentials so they can be renegotiated.

Ok, thanks I will give those a try.

Added this: ntlm auth = yes 

 

to the extra SMB config rebooted and all fixed. Thanks for the help!
