Connect a USB HDD and share it

[IngoPan]

Hallo,

I would like to share a USB HDD cnnected to my AsusWRT / Merlin Router via SMB.
I have set up my router as follows:

Whats the problem here is, that want to share it with authentication ONLY, means using with
login/password. When accessing my router via "\\r7000\ i nevertheless can see all drives, reading
and writing enabled without having to enter valid credentials:

What am i doing wrong please?



Thanks in advance.

Try to change the "Simpler Share naming" from no to yes.

Here you can see my settings and I don't have problems with sharing. I'm using a usb3-hdd

Just for info: I'm using the latest john's-fork as firmware

Don't forget to reboot after made the changes

Netgear R7000 isn't supported by Merlin, you should ask config and support questions here:http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/asuswrt-merlin-on-netgear-r7000.71108/

Yes, sharing is no problem. Its just that i want it WITH authorization enabled, means its mandatory to provide a login/password prior to access it.

Got it!
If i access the router via \\192.168.2.1 all is working fine and i am prompted for credentials. If i access the router via \\r7000 i can access it without credentials. Any clue?

This means your are either using the same username/password as your Windows login (which Windows automatically provides), or you already saved the username/password and Windows is automatically re-using it.

Nope. The credentials are different. On a freshly boot up win 10, i can access the same router with \\192.168.2.1 and \\r7000. I should ber prompted in either case for cedentials but
i just have to do it when accessing via ip (\\192.168.2.1). Thats a bypass and there is nothing cached. How do i prevent my router from being accessed by \\r7000 ? Just edit /etc/hosts?

I know you guys dont believe me but take a look here:

No saved session and also no used network drive, even though i can access the folder on my smb shared stick.
Any explanation for this?
