Windows Users: Accessing the NSS Storage using CIFS/SMB
Windows users who have a user profile set up can access any shares to which
they have privileges on the NSS storage using CIFS/SMB.
To access the NSS storage using CIFS/SMB:
STEP 1
There are a variety of ways to access the NSS:
•
From the My Computer window, type \\<hostname> or \\<IP address> in
the Address bar. (Where the <hostname> refers to your NSS hostname and
<IP address> refers to your NSS IP address. For example,
"\\NAS0123456789ab or \\192.168.1.2".)
•
Browse for the NSS from the My Network Places window.
•
Map the NSS to a network drive.
The Login window appears.
STEP 2
If your user profile is set up locally (that is, through the NSS configuration interface)
and the NSS is part of a Windows domain, in the User name field, enter the
following: <NSS hostname>\<username>. If your user profile is set up through the
domain or the NSS is not joined to a domain, you do not need to enter the NSS
hostname before your user name. (Just enter your user name and then your
password.)
