did you enter it in the web browser address bar? Or Windows Explorer? (starting from "my computer" for example). In your picture you are ending up in the web browser, logging in as admin to Frontview. To complete that login you would need to enter admin as the user name and the NAS admin password. On the v1/pro you would then need to deal the IE security exception due to the self-signed certificate (I expect the same is true on the v2). However, I am thinking you didn't intend that login anyway.
also, is media the only share you tried?
Why your XP machine doesn't work is of course what we are trying to figure out. From your posts, it sounded like only one XP machine was mis-behaving. Is the other one acting identically?

Addresses are both in the 192.168.x.x range - that means they are private. There are millions and millions of other people using those identical addresses, so there literally is no way to route back to these addresses. (your router replaces the 192.168.x.x private address with its own "real" internet address from your ISP when your devices access the internet). So posting the addresses/subnet masks does not create a privacy or security issue. Posting your router's external address would be different.
