I have an issue that I've struggled with in the past and don't recall how I solved if, if I ever did or if it just worked itself out. And my Google-Fu is failing me in finding a solution right now.
This may also be more of a Windows (10) issue, but it seems that any information I find for the Windows side is discussing access a Windows based server, and those solutions don't seem to work for me.
Anyway. I'm upgrading my PC, and I'm testing the hardware in a test setup, to find any possible issues, such as this...
I'm using nas4free 10.3.0.3 - Pilingitam (revision 3379)
The problem is that when I try to access the password protected folder (The one I have set up for me specifically), I get a Network error, and no way of inputting the credentials to access it.
I've tried adding the credentials manually under the the Windows Credentials settings, which didn't change anything.
Is there a way to force the login screen to come up when clicking on a folder? I can't seem to find a way.
I can read from and write to the public folders on the NAS from the new (Windows 10) PC, and access other Windows PC shares on the same network.
Luckily I haven't taken apart my existing system (to swap in the upgraded parts) that can access this folder yet, so I can still access it from there.
I'm not sure if it matters but, the old system that can access the folder from is Windows 7, and has been able to access the folder for a number of years. The new PC is running Windows 10.
Once I figure this out I can then upgrade my PC...
If you can even point me to a guide that shows how to solve this that I might not have been able to find I'd appreciate that too.
