Why do I receive error code 86 when trying to map a drive on the SimpleShare through NasFinder?

This error will appear if you have previously configured the SimpleShare on a different computer and turned on Share Authentication. NasFinder does not allow you to enter a password when mapping and so it will fail to map the drive. You will need to disable Share Authentication to proceed. • Continue through NasFinder and click on Advanced Setup • Under Share Management choose Share Access • Uncheck the box for Enable Share Authentication • Click on Apply • Run NasFinder again to map drive. You can enable Share Authentication after setting up SimpleShare on all systems.
