making a standard share .... wtf?

[anders.jensen]

Hi everyone

I have a Qnap TS-419 which I simply use for "Backup Storage".
Eg I take backup from a few servers with "Symantec Backup Exec" and store the backups on this NAS.
Im having a LOT of problems creating a share which I can access ...

right about now most of you think of "Simpsons Facepalm" and "RTFM" but im really at a loss here.
I go to "share"
i click "create new share"
i create the share called "Backup"
i add the "admin" (local) account to "read/write" and click apply
the "Guess access right" is "Deny access"
in this situation I cant access the share from any computer or ressource.

if I on the other hand tough go and set "guest access right" to "permit access" all is fine.
am I missing something completely basic or are my NAS just fubar beyound recovery???

ohh "D'oH" the error I get is:
\\qnap-nas\backup is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. contact adminstrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. I DO NOT get a secondary "logon" prompt ...

on the "public" share I can access (permit guest is allowed)
on the "recordings" i get a secondary logon prompt (this is set completely identical to my "backup" folder)

From your PC credentials must be the same for all shares. So if you access a share without specifying a user ID and PW then you are connecting with either guest or the ID and PW of the logged in user. To specifiy credentials you have to use the map drive function and not browse to the share.

Thank you for the answer. This dosent help im sorry to say.
I have created a user on the QNAP called "Backup".

I then go to my SBS2003 and create a networkdrive.
setup to connect to b:\qnap-nas\xpd_backup with "logon as different user".
The logon info I provide are the user I created called "Backup" with password "Backup"

No matter what I key in, at the logon window It won accept. Tried 192.168.1.242\backup and qnap-nas\backup
If I try and access from my windows 7 with logon= "Qnap-nas\backup" and Password="Backup" all is well ...

why can't i do that from my SBS2003 ???

hmm ... think im close to figuring out what happens...

I create share
i set permissions
i can logon via UNC-path from SBS2003

I open symantec Backup Exec and go to "devices" and create a "New backup to disk folder"
I choose \\nasname\sharename
I get "permission denied"
If I close Symantec Backup Exec and try to access path as I normally do I get "access denied".

Only way to fix this temporarily is to remove permissions set on NAS-interface, apply, set user permissions again
Now I can access through UNC-path again

So somehow Symantec Backup Exec messes with the NAS-share....
why is a mystery for me... but i guess this aint Qnap's fault...

I'm having exactly the same problem.
How did you solved it?
