Title: Added a wireless Laptop to network and it doesnt see the Linkstation
Post by: jwishy on January 31, 2010, 04:57:43 AM
   

The laptop is running XP and I see the linkstation in my network places folder on the laptop. I am also running NIS 10 if that makes a difference. I already have another laptop running vista that has no problems so I dont know what the deal is. But the software never really loaded properly but it did not load properly on any of the cpus?

 

Thanks in advance.

If you know the IP address of the unit then try this.

 

 

Goto 'Start->'Run'. In the Run box type \\192.168.11.150 where 192.168.11.150 is the IP address of the NAS. Or, In the Run box type \\HOSTNAME where HOSTNAME is the Hostanme of the NAS. This will open a window with the shares. Right-Click on the share you wish to map and select Map Network Drive. You will then have the option to choose a drive letter. Once you have done so, click 'Finish'.

Hi Josh, well you probably already know this but your solution worked perfectly.

 

Thanks
