Problems setting up for extra users
Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:51 am
HI,
I want to allow some friends to access a specific share on my Amahi server. They are defined and have a password and have permission to access the share (in fact all users have). They have installed HDAConnect3 and when they run it with thwir userID and password they get a successful conection. All good so far. When they try to map the drive they get asked for a username and password-the one defined for them is rejected, but it works if they use mine (rapidly changed afterwards). Now I am sure this is something really obvious, but I can't figure out what it is - please help?
I have tried various things, but when I am home I am inside the LAN so that doesn't help, and at work we have a proxy that won't allow me to access the HDA, so I have to disconnect from the LAN and logon to a wireless guest net, try somethig, wait til I get home and make a change, then wait until the next day before I can test it out again - I usually forget what I did by then!
