Have a look at the first few pages of this guide. It deals with the whole permissions side.
You just need to set up a new user account on your PC, then give that user permission to access the shared folders. Then when youre mounting the drive, you use the username and password for the new user to connect. I will get you my settings when i get home from work later.Code:http://www.ucassupport.nl/download/Dreambox/CIFS_How_To.pdf

thats guide is just for xp isent it mate i need a guide for window 7
Yeah it works the same. Im on Win7 myself.
I think you may even just be able to go into User Account in windows 7 (if you dont do it the way of the guide), set up a new account there (I just vuplus), add a password too. then, when you go into sharing to set up the shared folder, click on permission. In there Add a new user for permission, type in the name of the new account you set up, and give them whatever permissions you need. (I just gave full control to the account).
When you go to mount the drive, use CIFS so you can enter the user name and password you just set up. make sure you get the PC IP right, and the share name will be what you shared the folder as.
ill be able to give you a better description of how i set it up when i get home and can see my settings and see the win7 screens.
i'll have a go in abit mate let you know thanks
Right had a quick check. Should be just a question of going to Control Panel, User Accounts. Add a new user in there (say VUPlus). Go to folder properties of the folder you want to share, in sharing you can set a name for the Share, say movies. Also in there should be a button for permissions. In there add a new user for the folder, enter name you created (VUPlus).
Then on the VU+, go to add a new mount. Use settings:
Active -- enable
Local Share Name -- movies (can be anything you want)
Mount Type -- CIFS Share
Server IP -- your Pc / Mac IP Address
Server Share -- movies (or whatever you named the share in the folder properties)
use as HD replacement -- no (i have internal HD)
mount options -- rw
username -- VUPlus (the new account i created)
password -- (enter password for the new user account)
Good man ynwa, finally I have it working thanks to you. Nice easy-to follow guide as well, cheers!
i have window 7 64 bit
when i mount the folder in my pc i still get a red x on earth on the mount managment?! and the earth is grayed out?!
The share hasnt mounted. Something is wrong on your shared folder or your mount settings. Oh and have you made the registry changes and applied the hotfix from earlier in the thread?
