Cannot not access NAS device under windows 7
I have a Dlink d-321 NAS device which I was able to access under xp. I just bought a laptop which comes with windows 7. I caan't see the device nor able to create the network name. It's default to homegroup. Please help. I checked with Dlink and it's said the unit is fully compatible with windows 7.

I suggest you click Start->Control Panel->Network and Sharing Center->Change advanced sharing settings. enable Network Discovery and File and Printer sharing. If the issue persists, please check NetBIOS over TCP/IP settings. 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.2. Under Network and Internet, click View network status and tasks. 3. Click Change adapter settings.4. Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.5. In the This connection uses the following items list, double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), click Advanced, and then click the WINS tab.6. Choose “Default…” under “NetBIOS Setting”. If the issue still occurs, please temporary disable the antivirus and firewall on the Windows 7 computer. If the above suggestions do not help, please let us know the detail error message when you access the NAS with its NetBIOS name. Also, please let us know if you can access it with IP address.Arthur Xie - MSFT
