Using Shares with DP-S1 (Some FAQ)
Need help - sharing not being enabled.
I set up my sharing username and password on the BW S1.
I then created the same account on my PC (Vista Home Premium).
I then go to the folder where I saved my downloaded video files (eg torrents) and right click/properties and go to the Share tab. Under SHaring I add the beyonwiz user I created to access this folder.
When I click on "Share" it tells me this folder could not be shared ?
I have gone into sharing in Vista and enabled all fo the sharing options including Passwrod Protected Sharing.
When I scan on the BW it finds my router and can see subfolders on it, but that's it.
I tried to allow the ports and NetBIOS over TCP/IP but I could't see any instruction for Vista and the XP Pro instructions apparently are not the same for Vista as I couldn't follow the seuqence and find the right options (ie under TCP/IP config).
Any help appreciated.

Have a look at this topic on Vista: http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=538

The share folder is on my drive on my laptop and is NTFS.tonymy01 wrote:Is the share on the desktop or on a FAT32 drive? I don't know anything about vista, but maybe both of those things are bad... you more than likely need it on a NTFS drive, dunno about the desktop thing, but who knows with vista!?
I have tried just about everything on this post without success. I can ping the BW. I can see that my files are shared on the main PC but still cannot get the BW to see them. How do I turn off the "client for microsoft networks" as discribed inI simply checked in the LAN properties to have "client for microsoft networks'' turned ON... Everything worked after that, and i found with or without most of the settings described before me....
Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciate

Hi - need some advice here on Server 2003 and the beyonwiz...
I have SBS installed and works fine. I created a beyonwiz account and I can log in to a local pc and see the shares but the beyonwiz wont see them. It sees other shares on my vista pc and external hard disk but not SBS.
I changed the security settings for the domain controller as described on the first page - no effect. Likewise, enabling the guest account and including the user everyone also had no effect.
I can ping the beyonwiz from the server but it does not show up in the scan from the beyonwiz or if i try to add it manually - even where the beyonwiz uses the SBS server as dhcp, gateway, dns server.
Anyone help?

Are you in a corporate environment? Why do you need that at home?
Anyway, the Wiz login is using a samba like client, so domain logins are a pipe dream. You need to provide a local login account on your server.
I wouldn't have a clue what SBS is either? Definitely not something I have ever heard mentioned before in the Windows sharing realm. I have to plead ignorance about corporate sharing and domain stuff though (did muck with trying to setup a samba server to operate successfully in a domain environment many years ago.. and of course didn't have domain administrative rights to be able to make the domain controller pass the credentials through, so had to tell end users to do a bit of trickery to get into the server).

Hi Tony,
"SBS" is Microsoft's Small Business Server. This is usually a Server version of the O/S with things like Active Directory, Exchange, IIS, SQL etc layered on top.
There is no way that the Beyonwiz is capable or doing an Active Directory type login. I seem to remember someone posted how to dumb down the Active Directory security model to the Window's workgroup level but I am not sure about that.
Regards,
Ian.

Perhaps SBS (in this context) is Windows Small Business Server 2003?

I use small business server basically for exchange - my own email domains and integration with windows mobile - nothing corporate about it. Just my wife and I with shared contacts, calendars, etc over computers and mobile phones.
Anyway....
Looks like I will have to put the beyonwiz filesharing onto vmware if there is no workaround....
Cheers.

Nope once the server is setup as a DC access to the local SAM is removed hence no local accounts.
One thing you could try is to enter the username in the Beyonwiz as domain\user and see if that works. The domain portion would be just the short NetBIOS version not the full Active Directory FQDN version.

You can't use slashes in the wiz keyboard, so there's no way to enter the username in the Beyonwiz as domain\user... unless it's possible to enter it via telnet.weetbix wrote:One thing you could try is to enter the username in the Beyonwiz as domain\user and see if that works.

Yep, I was advocating that in the early days because a Chinese media player with the Sigma chipset was always pushing that SMB windows shares are significantly more inefficient than NFS for streaming HD stuff to a resource tight box. But to get NFS working on anything other than Linux required hoops to jump through (but then again, trying to explain to people how to setup Windows shares can often be frustrating too!)
This same company also said 802.11g wireless was simply not good enough for HD streaming, and to use either wired or direct USB... thus my push to go wired for anyone not happy with wireless performance. Mind you, there were that many complaints on this media player forum of poor support, bug fixes introducing worse bugs, and poor manufacturing QC with loose screws in the shipped from China units that people were linking to photos literally showing this junk heap being used as a door stop (LOTs of infant mortality problems due to poor QC no doubt). The vendor dis-owned the support forums and starting selling completely different hardware, of course no one (on the English forums at least) bothered to upgrade because once bitten twice shy.

SFU was integrated in to Windows 2003 R2. Just add the NFS server via Add/Remove Programs - Components - other file and print. Windows Vista & Windows 7 both have a NFS client only where as the server OS have both server and client.IanSav wrote: They still do. It is within the SFU package (Services For Unix) and yes it is free.

You shouldn't need to use a domain\username format when your authenticating directly to the domain controller ie a share on the DC as it only has Active Directory to look at for authentication. For member server or workstations then you require the domain\username format so the machine knows what to do with the authentication request.
The main reason why the Beyonwiz won't connect to the SBS box will be due to SMB signing being forced at the domain controller security policy level. See the document linked below - it talks about changing the security policies to allow Mac's to use SBS 03. As OS 10 uses SAMBA under the hood for Windows file shares like the beyonwiz does the following document will also apply. Step 4 is the relevant section.

Problems experienced: Can?t copy files to the NAS from both DP-S1 Units. In fact I can?t copy files between both DP-S1 Units. No problems copying from PCs to NAS. Still investigating......
However DP-S1 Units can read from the NAS.
EDIT: Added User ID and PSW to NAS folder and BW Windows Share and copy works.

That's not possible to do directly anyway, so don't waste any effort trying to make it work. The only way to do that is a double copy - copy to NAS or PC, then copy back to the other Beyonwiz.pellajl wrote:... In fact I can?t copy files between both DP-S1 Units. ...
As for the other problems: as IanSav said.

Have you read the FAQ posts about setting up the login accounts on the Beyonwiz and your NAS? Have you set the access privileges so that the Beyonwiz has write access to the NAS? If you are relying on Guest access then you will never have write access.
Regards,
Ian.
Thank you for your response.....
Yes, I did read the FAQs and after did what was suggested (add User ID and PSW to NAS and Windows Share in BW) an it worked!!!
I notice I posted in the wrong place. Can I get it shifted?
