Can not see Netgear NAS PRO
- I have a Netgear NAS Pro and Windows 7 RC 7100. My problem is that Windows 7 can not see my NAS box when in the Network and I cant search for it. I know its in the same (WORKGROUP) and I have the FIrewall all the way disabled atm. Befor I go out and buy the real thing I want to make sure all my things will work. I have noticed a lot of other people have had sort of or the exact same problem but no answer has been found. I did start up the XP Vitural PC and I can see and access it in that just not in windows 7 some one please help.

Hi,
Based on my research, please also try the following:
1. Check if you can access the NAS by “\\NAS name\” or “\\NAS’s IP Address\” (without quotations.). If there is any error message received, please let us know.
2. Adjust sharing settings to see if it helps:
1) Go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings”.
2) Under “File sharing connections”, select “Enable File Sharing for Devices that Use 40 or 56-bit encryption”.
3) Under “Password protected sharing”, select “Turn off password protected sharing”.
4) Save above changes.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

- I had this same problem but with a Linksys NAS NSLU2 http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/NSLU2.
The following link worked for all 3 of my Win 7 HP desktops and laptops.

The only difference is this lmcompatibilitylevel key does not exist in the LSA registry section - I added it and set the dword value to 1 and I had full access to my linkdisk NAS.
Give it a shot.
Lazy - I went to thw web site all the information there is about Vista and tryed a few of the suggestion but none of them worked.
