[FONT=&]Hi,
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Hopefully someone can help with this query that after days of trying myself and hours of google searches I can’t solve.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]I have a home network:[/FONT]
[FONT=&]2 windows 8.1 machines[/FONT]
[FONT=&]2 windows 7 machines[/FONT]
[FONT=&]D-link NAS – 2 Volumes[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Sign on’s are all Local account[/FONT]
[FONT=&]All used to connect successfully to the NAS for backup until about two weeks ago then the mappings to the volumes failed and every time I try to map or connect I get a Windows Security box requiring me to “Enter Network Credentials” and my file history requires me to re enter credentials.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]I have tried:[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Machine user name and password[/FONT]
[FONT=&]NAS username and password in straight and \\NASname\Username format[/FONT]
[FONT=&]IP address and Volume reference and every combination I canthink of[/FONT]
[FONT=&]But to no avail the security box just bounces back and i try again.... [/FONT]
[FONT=&]I have tried various combinations of on/off in the advanced Network and Internet options, resetting the NAS etc.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Sometimes I get the “Enter Network Credentials” message when addressing the NAS - sometimes I can expand the NAS and then get the message when I try to address the Volumes. Sometimes I get a different message about not having the permission to map the drive instead of the network credentials one – the frustrating thing is the variability in error or message that makes it even more difficult to solve the problem.
i have tried lots of forums and whilst there are people with similar issues none of the solutions that some have found work for me.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Thanks [/FONT]
