NAS Problem 3

[SamVimes]

My friend has a Lacie EDmini v2 linked up to a sonos music system, he used to be able to store songs on it but the connection dropped for around a year until he notified me of it. I diagnosed at as power supply problem and then got it replaced. He had a new laptop by then so I added the Lacie Drive on to the laptop as well.

However the problem comes when I try and store anything on the device, it is coming up that I don't have the permissions for it. I checked the user ID I was logging in with at the time and it has permission to read and write.

Any ideas why it wouldn't be letting me write to the device?

I have been advised that this may have something to do with the shares. Apparently you may need to write the data on to a public share? Told this off of one of the IT guys in my work.

I'm not the most experienced at this so any help provided is greatly appreciated.

Just to clarify, I got the power supply replaced. Not the NAS! Thanks

Can any other laptop or pc with the share connect to it and read/write data? More info on the laptop, what OS is it running?

you need to log on to the WEB Page-Menu of the NAS, then add the USER that is LOGGED into the laptop to the userbase and then to each share...

e.g. your friend logs into the Laptop as USER1, then each share that he wants access to needs to have a user called USER1 added... do not forget to also use the same PASSWORDS for logging into the laptop as well as the NAS...

without password the NAS will not allow write or read from any device...
