are you able to map the share \\HostnameOriP\sharename ?
No.

does the password window pop-up?
No.

what error does it give you?
First I get to wait quite a long time while windows is trying to connect to the share.
Then it states that it could not connect. Its pretty generic.

were you ever able to connect to this drive using your current OS setup?
No - this is my first PC using Windows 7, and since I have it, I was not able to connect to my readynas from it.

have you tried other windows 7 installations to connect to this drive?
No - I only have one Win7 license a.t.m, but I was able to connect from Vista64bit and XP Sytems.

when you go to your network card properties and hit "install" can you add any client, services, or protocols?
I have 4 Network Adapters installed on my System: Wifi1(Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 AGN), Wifi2(Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter), LAN and UMTS.
Both Wifi Adapters, which I normally use to connect in my Network have no additional Options for Installation but a "Reliable Multicast Protokol". There are no additional Clients or Services available per default.
