Cannot access Buffalo LS220D from Win7 Pro

Hi,

I have a Buffalo LS220D with 2 shares, 1 is open and easily accessible, the other is restricted and I can only access it from a Mac.

I have changed the Network security: LAN Manager authentication level as mentioned up and down the internet.

I have tried every conceivable way of entering a username and password but still no joy. I am only using local buffalo accounts as there is no domain or workgroup to speak of.

any ideas welcome
thanks
Gareth

Since the MAC can see it, I assume you have no problem pinging it from your Windows machine.  Have you tried turning the firewall off in Windows?  In fact, just shutdown the Windows Firewall service and test it.

Hi Wayne,

Hi gareth629,

Are you able to see the shares at all or are you just having trouble mapping it?

Wayne
I can see the share but cannot connect/map
What's the exact message are you getting when you tried to map it and how are you trying to map it?  Was it via Windows Explorer/My Computer or did you specified 192.168.xxx.xxx\openshare?
\\ipaddress\share is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the administrator
Multiple connection to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one username is not allowed. disconnect previous connections.

there are no connection open.

thanks
gareth
Please try the following solutions:

1.  If you have Windows Live ID or Windows Live Essentials please uninstall it then try again.  Somehow I read a user had odd conflict when mapping drive due to this.  (Chances are highly unlikely but it's easy enough to test).

Hi gareth629, glad you got it figured out. Cheers!
I found the solution more by accident than anything else but this was it.
