I cannot map a network drive from her laptop to the NAS,

It Works!Â* Thank you - that seems to have solved the problem.Â* I didn't
do quite as you said, because wife's laptop doesn't have the search
option, so instead, when trying to map a network drive, in the browse
box, I entered the IP address and up it came.Â* From there, mapping the
contents of each partition was straightforward.Â* Thank you.Â* Brownie

Ah... if you can access it via IP but not via Hostname then that sounds
like an issue with NetBIOS and/or Netbeui or you need to create a
Hostnames list.

Lets hope ou have static IP addresses.... otherwise the IP addresses
could change when the DHCP leases are renewed. (probably not an issue
for teh router as that generally stays the same IP address.
