Guess I have a variant of the grayed-out Guest username problem, but mine only comes up when I use XP to make the files available offline and then try to synchronize.
I map the DNS-323 in XP using a different username. This works fine, XP gets the username right and prompts for my password, I enter it and then the volume maps & appears as a new drive letter and I am in business.
However, when I make this volume "available offline" on my laptop's XP partition under Explorer, so that I can work on documents on the road, that initializes OK, but when I return to the office, plug the lap top back into the network and XP automatically tries to synch my offline files to those on the DNS-323, it always gives me the dreaded login GUI with the username grayed-out as Guest. I thus can never get synchronization to work. The exception to this is if I go into the DNS-323 box via the webtool under admin and make the volume read/write-accessible to all users including a Guest account. Then synch works, but it then makes my files on the DNS-323 mountable and deleteable by anyone at work, something I obviously can't have happen.
Apologies if this is a common problem but I've wasted a lot of time trying in vain to make synchronization work with this box under username and password control.
One other little issue: Several times I have toggled a DNS-323 volume between open access and username/password protected access. A few of the files I have been working on in between such changes I can now no longer open, the reason being that when I mount the volume on my Linux box it reveals that their Unix protection has somehow been set to 700 rather than the standard 777. I've tried chmod commands as root from an external Linux box mounting this partition but they don't work, as well as various Windows commands: nothing I've tried seems to be able to change the protection on those files so they are just stuck there, unremovable and uneditable. Any idea why this happens and how it can be fixed? Ideally I'd like a simple fix using the out-of-the-box capabilities of the DNS-323 rather than having to install add-ons to hack into the box and execute chmod commands as root, though if that is the only fix I guess I'll do that.
Thanks.
