Accessing Airport Extreme HD <solved>

[sanchox]

I am trying to share a drive that is connected to my airport extreme. I know that subsonic cannot access mapped drives, and I have followed a tutorial on how to set up network shares, but run into an issue when altering the subsonic service.

the airport extreme does not have an account per se, just an access password. when I go to the properties of the subsonic service, go to the log on tab, and select this account, i leave the account blank and enter the password for the airport extreme. this fails obviously. anyone have any ideas? I am running subsonic on win 7 64.

edit: i also share files off of the win 7 machine as well.

I've not tried it, but I think you will need to create a user on your Windows 7 machine with any username, but with the same password as the airport uses.

Just a guess.

it was a good guess, it worked. however, I am now unable to access my c drive do i have to change my admin password for my win 7 machine to the same pass that my airport uses? seems a bit wrong to do that. it is odd, because subsonic has always seen two of my non boot drives and my c drive, but not the networked drive. now it sees the two non boot drives and the networked, but not the c drive. any further ideas?

Grant permission to the files and folders on the C: drive to the new account that you created.

Or COPY the music to one of the "public" folders that Windows creates and delete the old copy.

(Do NOT just move the music... then the permissions will not change)

If you don't have room to copy, or need help setting permissions, reply back and I can help.

Thanks for your help, I simply right-clicked the folder, selected properties, clicked on the security tab and added the permissions for the new account. now my subsonic install can access my network share (on airport extreme), my internal hds, and my main c drive.

Thanks again for the help!
