Hope this is a silly question ...

I have NASLite-NFS up and running on my network ... I can ping the server, access the server info from a web browser, but I cannot connect to the server from Windows explorer. I tried entering \\[ip address] into the Address bar in Windows explorer, but I get a message "Windows cannot find "\\[ip address]", check the spelling ..." etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

I had this same problem, and as I remember I fixed it by starting the "Computer Browser" service in XP -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. Or else, possibly I am smoking crack and I changed something else, but you might check that and see if that's enabled.

Hi tfranz,

NASLite-NFS isn't supported by a vanilla XP. NASLite-SMB is more appropriate for your purpose.

Hope that helps.

Oh yeah... hehe, right. Maybe I should let the pros do the tech support, huh? But now that he's got it all set up he really just basically needs to replace his NFS disk with the SMB disk and he should be good to go, right?
