1242322	2011-11-07 10:49:00	I have a 500GB external HD hooked up via USB to my router. I have map it as a network drive and use it to store media which I access at different times via my Win 7 PC and laptop, or my HDPLAYON media player. Managing the hard drive is fickle. I figured out that I can only delete files on the HD from the device that created them. eg;If I used my PC to paste a movie into a folder on the NAS, I can only use the PC to delete the file. Anyways all of a sudden it doesn't matter what device I use, every time I try to create and name a new folder on the NAS it kindly resets the folder name to 'new folder'. I have tried to set new permissions from both PC and laptop but when I hit 'apply' (see screenshot) it clears out my changes. Attached file: NAS.jpg (www.imagef1.net.nz) (66 KB) Any ideas?	supersi (8401)

When you log into its settings is your actual account shown ? Just a thought -- is the 500GB external HD just that, a external HDD, or is it a proper NAS device ? A proper NAS you would normally log in Via a IP address or name, enter a user name and password, then be able to create users, with various permissions etc.	wainuitech (129)
