Unable to Map NAS on 2nd NIC in Win 7 Ultimate

aem said:

You are mapping from W7 to NAS? How are the shares created on the NAS, can you detail?

The Share is labeled as Volume_1.

So i be mapping like this \\192.168.0.21\Volume_1

To test out my NAS if its indeed working i plugged it into my Router and Im able to map it straight away from Win 7 without any issues.

But when i plug my NAS to my 2nd NIC and try mapping with the setting you gave, i cant.. ::confused

Well seeing you are able to connect thru the router, would this be off your onboard NIC? or are you attaching the 2nd NIC to the router as well?

If you can ping fine from the 2nd NIC, i can't see why you are not able to map drive, whilst there is no issues using the 1st NIC.

My onboard NIC is used to connect to my Router for my Internet.

I have a 2nd NIC which is PCI card attached to my PC and Im trying to attach my NAS to this NIC..

I also do not know why its so strange in Win 7, since last time when i was on XP i didnt have such an issues accessing my NAS on my 2nd NIC.. Only when i moved on to Win 7. Is there any Security Policies that I need to edit etc to enable to Map my Drives?

I know you have the PCI card as the 2nd NIC, but my question was when you said you plugged the NAS to the router, did you also plugged the PCI NIC to the router as well? you are basically have two NICs attach the router. If so, can you unplugg the onboard NIC and just use the PCI NIC to the router. See if this works?

I do not get you.. My PCI card stay in my PC.. What i did to test was plugging my NAS lan cable into my Router.

Since my onboard NIC is connected to my router im able to access my NAS through it.

I'll give a try like wat you mentioned and see.. :)

I did what you mentioned.. I cant access my Internet when i plug in my 2nd NIC sine its in Static IP so i cant map it to..

So I set it to Automatic Detection for IP and im able to access internet and also Map my Network drive..

You have onboard NIC (ethernet port 1), PCI card NIC (ethernet port 2). So you have two ports for your PC. You would then have two ethernet cables coming out of your PC, correct?

Don't tell me you only have 1 ethernet cable and that was for the onboard NIC ... lol

Lol.. 2 cables..
