| | Router problem with Vista Hello I have a problem regarding a router(D-Link 635), two computers (XP and Vista) and a NAS (Synology Dj209). From the XP-computer I can explore both the NAS and the Vista computer, but from the Vista-computer all I can see when I explore the Network is the Vista computer and %%%CUST_DEVICE_NAME (which then is the router). Since I can see everything from the XP-computer, they all have the same workgroup etc... Something that adds a bit drama is that I cant double-click on the Vista-computer from the Vista computer/Network without getting an error message (translated into english: \\NAME is not available. Name of the Network provider is not valid). I assume that the problem is on the Vista computer. I run Microsoft Security Essentials and the Windows Firewall (no extra...). Please, give me some suggestions that will enable me to reach the NAS from the Vista computer! With friendly regards, Andreas |

What network card do you use, or what is the computer model? |
