New Windows 7 Raidar sidebar gadget

Hi emoacht,
You should get a dialog from windows firewall that asks if the PresentationHost should be allowed to have access to the local (private) network. Simply allowing access should be all that is necessary. Unfortunately I have no clean install of Windows 7 to test this on. I'll see if I can simulate a clean install on my development machine.
The RaidarGadget uses one initial UDP broadcast to discover all the NAS devices on the network. Then, to monitor the first discovered NAS on the network, it will communicate with the IP-address of that NAS over UDP. The remote port in both cases is 22081.
I'm currently testing a revised version of the gadget which fixes a minor bug and has more lenient UDP time outs (30 sec). I'll see if I can post it here tomorrow but it'll need some testing first.
