Any ideas how to access a NAS drive through XP Home?

by ninjadingle . Updated 19 years, 4 months ago

I have recently bought a NAS enclosure and connected it through my wireless router. My laptop running MCE 2005 has picked it up no problem, and I’ve been able to confiure and use the drive with no problems.

It’s when I try and connect either my girlfriends laptop or the family desktop to the drive I pull my hair out! Both systems are running XP Home.

On my MCE laptop all I have to do is open up My Network Places and the drive’s shared area is there for use, yet when I open up My Network Places on the other systems, it shows nothing. Not even veiwing workgroup computers shows it.

Any ideas on how to get around this problem without upgrading all my systems to XP Pro?

Many thanks.
