    Help with access to SMB drive on ASUS router

    Help with access to SMB drive on ASUS router

    Yes. The 2 mac laptops see the SAMBA share. PAI don't think this is related but with GUEST ACCESS OFF I can't access the top most tier of the drives. With the GUEST ACCESS ON they appear perfectly. So, eg, If the drives are structured DRIVE/PART/FOLDER with GUEST ON I see PART1 and PART2...

    Help with access to SMB drive on ASUS router

    Yes. That scared me for a sec - but I do have the Private Network discovery and sharing on. The Guest or Public was turned off (I hunch that is not needed for a locally shared network drive?) but I turned it on and it did not help.

    Newbie questions - access to network resources from wifi in my office

    OK message received!! Loud and clear. I guess its not much of a defense that others are doing it (lots ... the wifi reception set up is poor) I have the feeling I'm getting this feedback from some pretty senior people who have had to clean up these messes. Thanks though I did get to learn...

    Newbie questions - access to network resources from wifi in my office

    OK, so I would like to put a wifi router in my office attached to the office network (ok with IT but they will not "support" - if you ask me they don't support to much so this is fine) to allow me to move around the office and access. This may be a simple one ... All works fine and I can...
