W7 firewall blocking NAS, sort-off...

Postby alfonzobonzo » Fri Apr 20, 2012 10:52 am

W7 x64 sp1

I can't "see" either of my DS's in >>windows explorer > network
but I can access them by entering \\nameofNAS in the address bar
all the other PC's within the WORKGROUP show up.

If i completely disable both sections of windows firewall,
>>Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Firewall\Customize Settings >>home or work & public<<
Then the DS's show up along with all the other pc's on the network

Both DS's have the correct WORKGROUP name

Anyone else have this problem and a fix, doesn't feel right running with windows firewall turned off

Otherwise its as though the NAS devices are hidden :roll:
