My set up is as follows;

NAS server with intergrated wired router and wireless access point
PC upstairs (wired)
Media PC downstairs (wired)
Laptop (wireless)

Now, I hold all my music, video and pictures on my NAS server's internal drive.

In it's settings is the option to give the user group a password, which I decided to try, then thought better of it. For some strange reason, you have to enter an * as the password to remove the password. I did this and now it thinks that * is the password

Anyway, everytime I boot up either my upstairs PC or media PC, to access the NAS server via either Explorer folders, or when opening Meda Player (who's library is attributed to the files on the NAS) I have to "login" to the NAS by entering the user group name and * as the password! This is very annoying!

I recently got a laptop, and after setting it up for access to the network, I attempted to login to it. I had to enter the user group name and * as the password - but then below the password box was a check box to "REMEMBER PASSWORD" which I checked. Now everytime I boot up the lappy, it automatically locates my wireless network, logs on to get internet access, and auto logs in to my NAS server aswell. Brilliant!

Question is - how do I make the other two PC's do this! Prior to the NAS server having * as the password, they always just logged straight in with no login window - click MY NETWORK PLACES, the folders were there and BAM, you're in (or click on one of the mapped network drives, either way worked fine) Neither of them, when I try to login show the checkbox for remembering the password! And I have to type the user group name and * as the password everytime!

How do I make it work?
