Vista share setup - help!

Hi,

I have a new Duo on a simple network with one Vista (home basic) and one Win7 machine. The 7 machine can see the default 'backup' and 'media' shares on the NAS no problem at impressive speeds.

The Vista one is having problems! Usng Raidar from the Vista box I can see the NAS (on its fixed IP) but when I try to browse I get "Windows cannot access \\(the ip address)" and a Windows error code of 0x80070035.

I can ping that IP fine from the Vista machine, and can bring up the web interface on that IP. I have file sharing on, firewalls off, IP v6 disabled, etc etc.

In network and shariing centre i can see the nas, but with only device webpage/ shortcut / properties on right click. - on the working win7 box i can browse.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance.

If you have anti-virus, try to disable its firewall. Try also to update the driver your NIC.

Thanks for the reply.

Firewalls, AV etc all disabled. NIC and all other drivers checked and updated. No change.

Borrowed a Vista laptop to try that - it connects OK.
