Organize file access settings for network locations.
Organize file access settings for network locations.
I updated my xpenology setup (Synology) NAS and successfully installed games on the network drive. Steam and Epic Games both worked without issues. Ubisoft Connect blocked Origin and Oculus Home from installing, claiming permission errors for the network folder. I checked the mapped drive properties but found it restricted—only server users or groups could be added, not my PC. The location is locked. Is there a method to modify this setting so my PC can manage groups? Or any tips for installing Oculus and Origin on a NAS?
You might set up a local account on the server using the same username and password as your PC, then give it the necessary access rights. After that, your computer should be able to connect without needing a password, and the shared resources should reflect the correct permissions.
It indicates a special configuration setting is active, typically triggered when the device cannot obtain an IP address through its local DHCP server.
Yes, a direct link between PC and Server works well. In the UK with Virgin Media, their router performs poorly—transfer speeds dropped from 100MB/s to just 30MB/s. I tried rebooting and resetting factory settings, but the cap remained at 30MB/s. To regain full performance, I opted for a direct connection, taking advantage of the two LAN ports on the server.
I connected the server via the LAN port linked to your router, resulting in the drive receiving the IP address 192.168.0.20. The same issue persists, with permission problems reported.
Even with identical usernames, the device names differ, preventing a connection between them. It might be worth a shot, though I’m really skeptical it will succeed.
