A newbie question on networking a PC & NAS
I'll explain the setup...
A PC, running Windows 7 32, Western Digital MyBook external, NAS drive.
A wireless laptop, running Vista 32, with small, internal hard-drive.
What I would "like" to do is...
Via the wireless laptop, access the PC / external drive from anywhere in the house. Sounds / must be simple.
When I have it all connected up, I can see the external drive no problem. I can access it and open any of the files on it. However, I can't see / access the PC.
Given the small internal hard-drive of the laptop, what I want to do is use the PC as a server, and run programs from it...Office, browser, Web design, photo design etc. The hard-drive in the laptop won't take all that. So am I able to do what I want--and I'm missing something in the setup--or am I wanting something that just can't be done?
