Hi
I have been using Freenas for Almost 8 months now with just open access,as its a home computer, however I would like to now share folders with User names.
I have created a media folder shared it with CIFS and have the User name Chris with the Folder "Media" as a home directory.
However when I want to Map the network Drive,as per the IXstems example on YouTube Frenas@ 9.2.1.8 Transmission Plugin" I cannot seem to be able to get the username correct.
Am I using the right convention?
My Work group is "WORKGROUP" Freenas is "FREENAS"my user name is Chris I enter
WORKGROUP\\FREENAS\Chris in as the user and then my password then the result is the sign in box again with my original laptop sign on name.
I have tried just "Chris" and "\\FREENAS\Chris"all for the same result- where am I going wrong?
Sorry to Sound like a complete Dummy - But I take it that I am!
