Hi,I have a NAS drive and currently have my PC and laptop connected to it. The laptop is wireless. The problem I have is trying to get another laptop connected to it. I cant remember how managed with the first one. But I cant find it with my other PC. So if anyone can point me in the right direction It would be much appreciated.Thanks

Is the NAS Drive connected to your Router, via a standard RJ45 Patch cable ? ..... if not, how are you connecting to it ?

It is XP. I can connect to the NAS drive through explorer. However cant through my computer. Do I have to set up anything else?
thanks

If I am reading you right, I think all you need to do is map the drive ..... see here (http://compnetworking.about.com/od/windowsxpnetworking/ht/mapnetworkdrive.htm) for details.

Tried this. Type the name of the folder to map by clicking Browse. It does not see the NAS drive. This works ok on my other laptop.
