    And the solution is.........

     

    a.       Click on Start button

    b.      Type \\readyshare.routerlogin.com, in the search box and hit enter.

    c.       This should open a window with one folder inside similar to USB storage.

    d.      Check to see if your documents are inside,

    e.      If so go back outside of the folder and right-click scroll down to map network drive.

    f.        A window should appear, then select a drive letter and click finish.

That's what I've been trying.

 

I typed Run at the Start and then typed \\readyshare

 

I get the "Windows cannot access \\READYSHARE check the spelling of the name, otherwise there might be a problem with your network, etc etc, click Diagnose.."

 

Clicking Diagnose doesn't find / fix anything.

Okay,

 

I'm getting closer to solving this.....

 

I found a thread on Microsoft's Answer's forum.

 

It was suggested to try going to;

 

\\readyshare.routerlogin.com

 

And that should open up an Explorer Windows which it did :)

 

Now.... I need to know how to 'map' that drive ??

 

(I wouldn't want to be typing \\readyshare.routerlogin.com at the Start button every time I wanted to access it on my network (of 2 computers connected via Ethernet).
