WIN 7 NAS + XP-PC not showing
Hi there,
I am new to this Forum, but not new to computing (on it since the 8086 processor and before).
Recently I ran into a problem (after a move from Trend-Micro to Bitdefender) for which I can not find a solution or work-around, despite several hours of reading.
Maybe somebody knows the matter is addressed already and just points me to the right thread.
However, the issue is:
I am running a private home network (mostly LAN) behind my access point. There are 3x Win7, 1x XP, 1x Mac, 1x Linux + 2x NAS involved (apart from printers).
My current focus is on one Win7 PC which apparently lost it's ability to see the 2x NAS and XP components.
I have deleted and recreated the credentials and managed to map 2 driver letters to the 2x NAS.
These will also reconnect after reboot.
They are all member of the same work-group and SMB is active on the NAS. Everything runs on fix IPs.
Nevertheless they will not show in the IN-Explorer's Network section. Same goes for the XP.
If I enter their NW name in IN-Explorers address line manually ....
e.g.: \\LSD220-2TB\Share00
.... they will also show up in the IN-Explorer's Network section.
If I close the window and reopen it, it's gone again. Needless to say it does not survive a reboot.
Any hint or guidance welcome ....
best regards to all,
Gunter
