    You should be able to use anyones login that has rights to write to the drive.
    Hope that helps !

    really?

    the previous machine didnt have a login, so I doubt that's the case. I need to get into the drive to verify.

    AND, i'm curious to see what this $500 thing does.

    I thinks you're incorrect. All MFP's have a hostname. Scanning to the hostname is the best way to set up SMB. If the computer changes IP, the scan will still find the computer based on name rather than IP.
    According to the screenshot you provided. The Host name in the MFP is the MFP's own name, not the destination's host name, if you scan to SMB you're scanning to a Computer's Shared Folder other than the MFP, not to an MFP Shared Folder, that would be the Document Box, (which some people use as well, but that's too many steps for the user, who usually only knows the program they use for work and a very basic understanding of windows file system.)
    it is possible I might be doing something wrong, but I have tried to set up scanning to the computer name, without setting up a DNS address (or telling it to use the DHCP as DNS) and 100% of the times does not find it, as soon as I enter the DNS address or tell it to use the DHCP as DNS, it works like a champ.

    I was replying to the statement that the MFP does not have a host name. They do have hostnames. This allows you to print to the hostname of the MFP when it's set to DHCP. Scanning is the same way in reverse. Use a hostname when the workstation is using DHCP to allow you to find it.
    Hope that helps !

    i believe what he meant is find a login which is used to login into the drive, rather than login for the machine....plus if i'm not mistaken, the login in the machine is for administrator purpose only right?

    plus some NAS had ftp function...check on it and make use of it

    EDIT:
    if it's this one you're talking about then it has a ftp function

    cant go FTP route, it was workin on the old machine, I tried and tried to no avail.

    next step is to find if the router has settings on it that will block the new one.

    so far

    Login not needed
    NAS permission is set to public(yeh, got in)
    user has a workgroup, so I turned netbuis on and match the work group name.

    nothing..

    There is a restriction somewhere.

    I've never managed to get a Kyocera to scan to SMB without a login (for a public or anonymous share), but that was in the KM-1820 days when it didn't even store passwords. Their recommendation was to make a user named "a" with a password of "a"

    I stayed late today to have some R&D time. Since this issue isnt solved I decide to do some very simple test.

    I couldnt even SMB to 2 PC's in the office. It was suppose to be the simplest thing, I get error 1102's.

    This client has a linksys old style router, and we have a linksys E series, couldnt do another on a DSL Siemans router. Did google, and searched Microsoft security bulletin, digged samba's characteristics and found its alias as CIFS. No help...

    SMB uses port 139 and 445, and it seems that they're blocked.

    any thoughts on this?

    What MFP are you using before we go any deeper ? I'd hook up a laptop direct & try to scan.
    Hope that helps !
