Title: Problems mapping drives with Vista sp1 64bit
Post by: Norkelton on December 27, 2008, 03:07:15 AM

Hello,

I am having problems mapping my drive with 64bit vista...

It works 100% perfectly in windows xp,
I have my firewall shut off,
It shows up in the network section and I installed the 64bit drivers and shows the icon,
when I go to map it or access it says that the hostname cannot be found, even using the easy search program fails.

I can access the web interface and ping the device...

I changed the "Network security: LAN Manager authentication level" to "Send LM and NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if security is negotiated" in my local policy and that didn't work.

So right now the only way I can get to my drive is to ftp into it.

Is the DNS-321 not supported by vista, or maybe I need to change something else?

any ideas would be great...

Thanks

This isnt a problem with the NAS, its with your WINS resolution. Try putting in the IP instead like this:
\\192.168.0.5\

Or whatever your IP is. See if that works.

Also I find disabling IP6 in Vista solves a lot of issues, unless of course you are using IP6 but probably not.

Also if you as still having an issue see if it will map if you disable any anti-virus or personal firewall software running. If it does you will need to make sure you anti-virus or personal firewall software is properly configured.
