Unable to map to Network Drive

I have a new Dell PC running Windows Vista Home Premium. I have been trying
to get it to map to a drive on my Linksys NSLU2 (Network Attached Storage) to
no avail. Every time I try to map to the Device, I get an error "The mapped
network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:
The specified network name is no longer available." When I go to the Network
and Sharing center, I am able to see the NAS and all my PC's, but I cannot
get at the files on the Linksys NSLU2. I am running a Peer to Peer network
with 2 Windows XP machines, my new Vista Dell and the Linksys NAS. The XP
machines can map to the NAS, but not my Vista machine.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks.

Thanks for the post. However, I did the registry fix as you suggested, but
am still unable to map to a network drive on my Linksys NSLU2. I have also
spoken to Linksys and they still do not have a firmware patch for my NSLU2.

Is there anything else I can try?

Andy,

This suggests a name resolution problem.

Look at the NetBT setting, and all personal firewalls.

Hi there,

I tried to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on all my PC's and re-checked my
Firewall settings and am still unable to map to the Linksys Network Drive.

Do you have any more suggestions?

Thanks,

Andy

Go to >Control Panel >Network and Sharing Center. than make sure that your
network says it is a 'private network', if not use the link that says
'customize' and change it to a private network. You should be able to map it
now.

Let's look at logs from "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each
computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely (download browstat!):

Hi there,

My network is already set up as a private network and I am still unable to
map to the Linksys Network Drive. Any more suggestions, please.

Thanks.
