Similar problems...
Not sure if you guys are still checking this thread but the problem you're describing is certainly the closest I've found to my own. I have several systems on a home network with two NAS boxes (a Synology 211j and a QNAP TS-212) as well. The QNAP is the newest addition and I had everything accessible and visible in the Network Explorer window on my primary Win7 Pro (x64) system as well as on my other systems (all Win7 Home Premium x64). I had also mapped folders on the 211j and the TS-212. I was recently thinking of setting up some surveillance cameras through the NAS so I went in and set up static IPs for the NAS boxes in my Router (Netgear WNDR3700) and in both of the NAS's. Now I can't see either of the NAS boxes in the Network Explorer and only the QNAP shows up as an "Other Device" on the Network Map, though both can be accessed easily (and then are temporarily listed as available systems in the lefthand navigation pane) by typing in their network location (eg \\QNAP-NAS), and their mapped drive folders are visible. Both show up and work as Media Streaming Devices (their primary use) as well. Not a big deal but it was nice being able to simply click on their icon in the network Details Pane to access folders that I did not want to map. Have turned off Master Browser options in both NAS boxes and set LAN Authentication Level in Local Security Policies to Send LM & NTLM to no avail. Any solution ideas would help, I'm not particularly network savy except for what I've read online....
