Accessing Multiple Shares from a single PC

When accessing multiple shares to a Windows PC, you may see this error message.

This is caused by having multiple shares to the same resource using different login credentials.

The error occurs when connecting to at least one secure, restricted share. Due to a constraint in Microsoft Windows, only one set of login credentials can access or map drive letters for a network resource such as the LinkStation. As such, only one username and password can be used while mapping drives to a PC. If unsecure, unrestricted shares are mapped and then an attempt to map a secure, restricted share is made from the same PC, this error will occur. To prevent this, you must create all mapped shares using the same login and password information. Please follow the steps on the next page to remedy this problem.
