Hi, I see this issue has been raised before and I read the thread which had a link in it but the link was not accessible. I have the issue now on my MacBook Pro that I cannot connect to the mini despite it being displayed as an option in Finder. I have scoured my sense and cannot see where to enter any shared folder credentials. I'm obviously going wrong somewhere, could somebody either post the link to the original Post or Blogg to solve the problem or tell me how to do? Thanks
 
Hi, I have now resolved this on my own but thanks for your reply and do anyone else who has this issue in the future with my MacBook Pro? The answer was that in Finder when you click on Zen mini in the network there is another box top right of Finder, which says connect as and you have to click on that box and then the username and password are enterable but without that information at that box existed, it was proving somewhat tricky.
Anyway, that's how to do it if you need to do it open Finder click on the Zen mini and then click the box top right in Finder which says connect as.

Thanks, Nigel
