New NAS user- can't access shares directly (only in browser)
I just got the ReadyNAS 102 and got it up and running in it's (mostly) default setup mode. As it all is now, I have an ATT U-verse combined wireless modem/router. It has four ethernet ports that I use...

Also make sure the RN102 and the PC are in the same workgroup. That is set on the accounts/authentication tab on the RN102.
Guest access is enabled as far as I can tell. The workgroup name was "VOLUME" but i changed it to "WORKGROUP" to match what it says on my Win XP laptop, but that didn't help - I still can't see either PC through the Windows Explorer.
My Win 7 laptop is a work computer that it usually connected to a VPN. That one shows a local work domain instead of a workgroup. I don't want to change anything there that might affect my ability to connect to work, but I should be able to do this with with the other PC at least.
Stumped.
