Logon Failure with Network Drive
I am unable to map a network drive (a Buffalo Terastation) because I always get the response :"logon failure - unknown user name or bad password" whenever I respond to the Terastation-generated logon request. I have named my workgroup HIHOME and all of my three computers (two on W7 and one running Ubuntu Linux) are in this workgroup, as is the Terastation. I noted that the logon response says that I am trying to log <computer name>\<user name>, and the computer name is not HIHOME. So I tried logging on as HIHOME\<user name> and this did update the workgroup but otherwise made no difference.
I can log on to the Terastation's web page in IE8 using its IP address, and I tried mapping the drive using the IP address instead of the name, but it made no difference.
I have made sure that I have specified my network as a HOME network rather than a "public" network, and I have turned off password protected sharing in "Advanced Sharing Settings". None of this made a difference.
I can see and access the Terastation folders using the computer running Ubuntu Desktop without difficulties, and the Terastation validates the same username and password which fails on Windows 7.
Anybody have any ideas?
