All of a sudden, I can't see my computers or NASs in "Network" as computers but they show up as "Media Devices".

However, the mapped drives still show up in any file explorer.

I'm at a loss to explain and rectify this and would appreciate any help please

I think it has something to do with whats shared from the devices. Have you enabled streaming or something similar? Can't help much more than that

As far as I can recall, I haven't changed anything David

you could try this it sorted my similar prob with the Net gear Ready NAS

Click Start ,search and type ( or copy this and paste ) "Local Security Policy" , when it appears at the top of the list, click on it

expand the view of Local Policies

Click on Security Options.

Network security , Lan Manager authentication level.

select "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated."

Click apply and okay then close it all

hopefully this may help

Did as you said Chris and it hasn't helped Thanks nonetheless

Here is a picture of what appears on my network:-



The computer "Mozart" is my wireless connected lappy. In addition there should be "Wagner" (This computer) "Schubert" (SWMBO's Computer) "QNAP" and "NSA325-V2"

If you look in the list to the left, you can see that the mapped drives linked to "QNAP" and "NSA325-V2" are clearly visible.

If I look at the same page on either "Mozart" or Schubert" each one only shows "Mozart" as a computer. So "Schubert" and "Wagner" can't even see themselves.

All are Windows 7 computers and are in the workgroup "Workgroup"

Hoping somebody sees this clearer explanation and can offer assistance
