Authentication Fail

Hello there,
I'm having trouble accessing my nas as soon as I disable guest log in.

The client is a windows 7 x64 computer connected to the NAS via direct gigabit and can access the gui without a problem, as soon as I enable guest access I can connect to the share (altough with a slight delay in browsing, but I guess I should solve this after fixing major problems :P)

The NAS is a 1,6 Ghz Celeron (Socket 775) with 2 GB of ram on an asus P5SMX-SE Mobo, the disk I'm trying to access is a JBOD formatted in UFS. - hardware in signature is outdated, the one in the post is the right one -

Here's my settings (where can I access my samba config file so that I can paste that instead of taking screenshots?)

I've created only one user at the moment, and is the same name as my Windows7 administrator account with the same password and is part of the admin group as primary, and the admin group as secondary. I've tried both givin it caps first letter and lower case first letter (windows user name first letter is caps), but no matter what I tried I can't access the share.

What am I missing?

p.s. I've tried searching through the forum, but most problem were about not having set the user as a part of the wheel group, and I did it (also my mount point permission should be 777, cause in the mount point menu every user can do everything.

try ftp group as primary and root as secondary.

admin group is only used for webGUI access not for file access

I see no root group, wheel should work too?

there's a way to merge the GUI log in user and the file access user? (aka instead of creating two users with the same name, one for the WebGUI that you rename in System>General and one for file access created in Access>User and Group, is there a way to add the proprieties of the second one to the first?)

Thanks!
Setting the primary group as ftp and the secondary as wheel worked well, does this mean I'll have to add every user to the ftp group, right?

What would it change to have the ftp group as primary or secondary?

btw I am having other issues copying file to my NAS, but due to being not related to Authentication (or at least I think they're not) I think I should better keep the discussion in the first thread, to avoid spreading the discussion to much and bulk up the forum.

Just in case here's the other thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=9700

Suddendly, without any changes, I started getting again authentication problems, now I get again access denied message.
