I've encountered a problem that's really annoying me as I can't fix it. I have a networked harddrive that is ethernet cabled to a wireless router and can be seen by three laptops except one Windows 7 one. It has worked on this W7 machine before via Map Network Drive under My Computer.
I've tried reinstalling the wireless card in the laptop, disabling IPv6, changing workgroup, disabling the firewall and rebooting the router and NAS.
I can ping the NAS via command prompt and can access its control panel via HTTP://, I just can't see it under Windows network or map a drive to it. The error is "Windows cannot access \\xx.xx.xx.xx\Share". I get this same message if I try to connect to the other computers that do show up in Network, even the Users folder of the same laptop itself.
I've had previous error messages along the lines of 'configuration settings may have been deleted' when letting Windows try to have a look and fix itself. And failed.
What's going on? !
