Must be something that is not correctly configured with Windows 7. I have all Windows 7 clients and don't have that issue.

3 Possible options:

1.Check that windows has stored your network share credentials:
Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > Manage Windows Credentials

2.Ensure you are not just typing your username when you login. Proper way would be:
username: **AMAHI DEVICE NAME**\username
password: password

3. Get to the command shell (Win+R, cmd, Enter)

Code: Select all

net use Z: \\remote\folder * /USER:DOMAIN\username /PERSISTENT:YES

Modify to fit your HDA
Type in your password at the prompt

Good luck.

Code: Select all

c:\common-sense.exe 'common-sense.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Windows isn't capable. I tried.

If you have the same username & password for your HDA admin account and your Windows user account, you never get asked for a password.

hello its playing up again so trying this again 2.Ensure you are not just typing your username when you login. Proper way would be:
username: **AMAHI DEVICE NAME**\username
password: password


i get lost at: username: **AMAHI DEVICE NAME**\username
what is meant by **AMAHI DEVICE NAME** where can i find it or is it "hda"

lets say my username is "john"
and my password is "123abc"
what should this lines username: **AMAHI DEVICE NAME**\username be
thank you

Check the Shares troubleshooter in the wiki.

http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Shares_troubleshooting

Note that sometimes the domain is required by Windows 7 for access. I believe what is meant by **AMAHI DEVICE NAME** is the domain to which your HDA is known (i.e. hda.home.com).

Thats strange. I have never had to enter in any credentials to access my network drives if your in a workgroup.

I create my accounts on amahi, and then I cerate the windows account using same username and pwd.
Then I have a .bat file in the start up folder that connects to z:\ to launch another .bat file to map the drives.

So far this setup has been working flawlessly for over a year now.
