What version of LMCE are you using? If this is a brand new installation use your name that you entered during the wizard setup for use login username and password.

Do you have any folders from 192.168.80.1 showing up under your network neighborhood?

Just reloaded 0710B3 and it said during the install to use the same user name i set up the system with. I can access the admin page but i still cant access the shares \\192.168.80.1 Can someone please help. During the initial install i setup 3 other users. is anyone having problems with 0710b3 or is it just me?

No nothing shows up. I can see the dce router but cant get into it. Does it matter that i used a full name such as Joseph Young with a capital J and Y for my setup user? Is there any restrictions with the user names/ password.. also there is a space between first and last name. Thanks in advance

Hi Joseph,

I have done some testing with users and it seems that if you use a name with a space like “Joseph Young” the user name will actually be stored as “JosephYoung” and the password will be stored with a space in it.

Try username “JosephYoung” with no space and password “Joseph Young” with a space and see how you go.

Justin,
       You are the man. It worked! Thank you so much for helping out. If you dont mind me asking where did you look to figure that out? Also any thought why it works right on the admin site but not with shares? Thanks again for everyones help.

Just a guess but im guessing as it uses smb shares to allow windows to connect. which is actually based on a very old Lanmanager netwokring system designed in 1980 odd I dont think that it supports spaces in usernames. Therefore I guess that it is rmoving the space.

Hi Joseph,

I'm glad this works for you now.

My first system user was a single word ie "Justin" so I created a second user ie "James O".  When I connected to DCERouter from windows and logged in using the user "Justin" I seen a share listed as "JamesO" not "James O".  So it seems that passwords can have spaces in them but not users.

Just to explain one point above....

using \\ip.ip.ip.ip is a UNC share, you are telling Windows to open that device using SMB/CIFS and scan it for public drive shares. This will not connect with a web site which is a totally different protocol and port (HTTP:80 instead of CIFS/SMB:445)

Depending on the version of Windows, IE and the settings you have enabled, it may "guess" that it is really a web site, but it is not normal to do so - you have explicitly told it to open a drive share, you may even get an Explorer window with the public/user_1/user_2 shares if you put the right password in!

If you had dropped the \\ it would probably have found it. But to be certain, and not rely on Windows "guessing" things, put the whole path in "http://ip.ip.ip.ip" note they are forward slashes, very different, and you are explicitly defining the protocol to use and therefore the default port.

Authentication for the web site is not based on SMB, Lanman or NTLM, it is straightforward HTTP forms authentication.
