Update: The Win7 box can see the Win 8 shared folders, only see, it can't access the files without the "you don't have permission" error & the NAS problem continues.
It's not going to work that way. It needs to be done through the WD Discovery software. The video I linked to gives a step by step on how to do that.No. Right Clicking My Computer > Map Network Drive
No, I only gave the directories read\write privileges. I'll check that now.Did you attempt to set permissions for directories for the new user account you created on the NAS? Yes or no?
So...can you click on 'use another account' and choose the new user you created? Sounds like 'nobody' is a default built into the software and 'use another account' is how you choose which user you're going to create access for.I installed WD Discovery Software, and I set it to map the drive manually, but it won't proceed to do that, because I'm getting a; Enter Network Password, the top field is a user called, literally, called 'nobody' that I didn't create at any time. Below that is "use another account"
Everything is up to date, and I am using the latest version of the WD Discovery software & it's Win 8.1.I had asked before. Is the NAS all up to date with all updates and or patches installed? Does WD specifically say that your NAS works with Win8? And the computer you're trying to get working, is it 8 or 8.1?
Yeah, well I owe you some form of an apology because I've had you spinning around because I failed to pick up on the Win7 computer interfacing as it should with the NAS.Everything is up to date, and I am using the latest version of the WD Discovery software & it's Win 8.1.
I have already mapped a directory on the NAS as a network drive on Win7
