System not recognized in Windows connection

I've had that problem for several versions, and it's not a unique thing to the ReadyNAS, as I have seen similar complaints in forums for other Linux-based NAS.  Basically, there is something amiss with Windows resolving the names of Linux systems to an IP address.  I have never seen a real solution, but there is a work-around, which is putting the NAS name and IP address in the Windows hosts file.  You can only edit the hosts file in an editor with admin privileges, so it's best to simply Google modify windows hosts file for the particulars.
