Help with Network Drive

[dsring]

I connected a USB drive to the RT-N66U, and was wanting to use it as a network drive. I can map to it Windows 7. I cannot read/write to the drive in anything other than the root folder. I cannot change the security settings in Windows to be able to R/W to anything other than the root folder. Is there a setting in the router that I need to change to be able to fully access the USB drive in Windows? Need help. Thanks.

Similar problem was posted in the RT-N56U forum at http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=7797. I still do not fully understand how to solve this issue.

Have you gone to the page

http://www.asusnetwork.net/Advanced_AiDisk_samba.asp

and set permissions?

I have resolved my issue. I had to create a 'shared' folder on my USB drive, and then copy all of the individual folders on the drive into the 'shared' folder. I then went into http://www.asusnetwork.net/Advanced_AiDisk_samba.asp and set permissions for the 'shared' folder. I then mapped to the 'shared' folder on the drive in Windows. I can now read/write to all subfolders on the drive.
