[QUOTE="ChrisGuy, post: 1137699, member: 178436"] right so where to start. i recently bought the vantec nexstar LX ultra NAS for my network and installed a 2TB HDD, it is connected to my router through ethernet cable obviously. now i bought this for 2 reasons; 1) so that the family can share all our media and what not and 2) so that i can use the media server to stream to my PS3 i am running a macbook pro 2.4 core i5, sister the 2007 macbook, and other members are lame and using windows laptops, i also have a PC which is connected from time to time. now for my problems... i am using the net gear DGNB2200 wireless N router and once i connected the NAS i could access it through the PC and my moms laptop (both windows) but however, i could not eve "see" it on my mac it was like it didn't exist, i could access the ip address in order to change setting but not the actual HDD. today my router decided to be stupid and it died, and i replaced it, now for some reason i can actually "see" the NAS on my mac but cant access it. as mac's do it asked for a user and pass, as well as giving me the guest option. if i click guest it informs me the NAS doesn't support the "guest" option, if i try my mac user and pass, it tells me they are invalid. In the NAS settings i can create smb accounts, which i have done and made sure they are sharing the folders i want shared, and i have tried to log into the NAS on my mac with these user and pass, but still no luck they are invalid. but if i use the pc to log into the NAS with the SMB account i can access everything that is specified. so please can yous guys out there help me out!! P.S. sorry for such a long msg but just wanted to give you all the info i could! [/QUOTE]
