I have a NAS drive but rather annoyingly the only way I can seem to set access permissions is by setting the user name/password to be the same as the windows user/pass which is fine for my account but its would be a pain in the backside to get everyone else to setup their user/pass on the NAS.
If the windows user/pass doesn't exist on the NAS I get a login prompt from windows xp/vista asking for a user/pass
Problem is I cannot seem to get it to take anything unless that user/pass combination actually is for a user on the local computer.
I've tried prefixing the user name with the server name but it wont take it either.
Where am I going wrong?
Network is a Mix of Vista, XP and Macs
The share is on a "Dual HDD NAS" which as far as I can tell runs a embedded linux and is based on the Storlink centrinas platform (its an MRT communications Dual HDD NAS bought it off svp)
Users are created on the NAS via web interface.

Cant you just map the network shares? Been a while since ive needed this since I have my network setup to use the same username/pass combination on all my machines tho I seem to remember that this was how I used to do it.
