heres the issue, i have just setup a NAS server, yesterday i went to network and sharing centre and it showed me all the PC's on my network including the NAS, today i went on it and it only shows the PC that i am using, other pc's on the same network wirelessly show all the computers?? the PC i am using is wireless by the way, so any idea of how to show and connect to the NAS?

thanks

The NAS will obtain an IP address via DHCP. Find what that is and then start > run > \\[ipaddress]

Try the IP address in the browser the NAS probably will have a web gui configuration page.

tried typing it into run as this "//192.168.0.6" and got the error:

windows cannot find //192.168.0.6 please make sure you typed it properly and then try again

also i can login to the web gui (SAMBA) and noticed that DHCP server is DISABLED

hope that helps

Wrong way around matey, \\ not //. Also try checking the settings for some data paths / folder creator e.t.c.
