    Another bit of info from Mediagate:
    Mediagate & Windows7
    Q: Is Microsoft Windows 7 operating System supported on Mediagate Players? , if not ,
    is there any workaround to make it work?
    A: At this time, Windows 7 is NOT supported on any of the Medigate players.
    This is for technical reasons (Microsoft has changed the way it deals with Samba shares).

    Wait... are you saying that the Mediagate device is on the WAN side of Belkin?

    Teddals, is this diagram correct? If not, please correct it for me:

    Code:
    PC (Win7)(10.1.1.3) ---|
                            ----- (LAN, 4 ports) Belkin (WAN side, to your broadband connection) ---- Internet
Mediagate(10.1.1.10)     ---|
    If this diagram is correct, you need to triple check the cabling from PC to Belkin, and Mediagate to Belkin, make sure those cables are OK, and the NIC indicator on both PC and Mediagate is blinking (showing that it is connected).

    Hey, am I missing something here?

    The Mediagate device is on the same network as the Win7 PC, unless the network cable connecting Mediagate to Win7 is busted, it should PING no matter what... I assume the Mediagate device is connected on the LAN interface of Belkin router, right?

    There's no need to put "Default Gateway" or "Gateway" on anything unless you want the said device to connect to the Interweb, applying IP address with same network address should suffice.

    As I have mentioned it is connected to the router via a CAT5 LAN cable to a LAN interface port.

    This is very weird...

    It has 4 LAN Ports.
    There is nothing wrong with the connection set as I have just checked with my other partioned operating system (WinXP 64-bit) & everything works find on this operating system.
    It is only when I switch over to the Win7 64-bit system the the network to the Mediagate doesn't work.
    When I start up the Mediagate on the Network Mode it sees the the PC (Master) but wheni go to open Master to see my shared hard drives the Medigate tell me there is no shared files to view.

    acurasd,

    Firewall has nothing to do with anything. Teddals stated that the device can see Win7 PC, but see no shares..
    IF it is indeed firewall, the device will not see ANYTHING.

    Teddals,

    Hold on, re-reading the userguide... SMB implementation in Win7 might change a bit, but it should not be that significant.

    So a windows does appear but it's empty, as apposed to unable to open the share drive?

    Reading the user guide, it involves using "Guest" account, can you tell me what steps have you taken so far to configure your Windows 7? I might spot something in the process
