Hi,

I'm trying to connect my NAS hard-drive to vista. Its connected to my Linksys WRT150N router through an cat5 cable.

I've checked my 'Network' window to see the devices/computers that have media sharing enabled, but I can't see the HD in my network window.

How do I access my NAS HD through my laptop with using my router?

Thanks

^Thanks. I found the NAS HD on my router, now how to I connect it to my computer? Is my HD pretty much a FTP server now which I upload files onto?

Do a start run: (windows+r)
\\ip address or NAS\

What is the model of the NAS?
