FritzBox 7270 and mass storage
External hard drive connected through USB to my DSL router FritzBox 7270. Access enabled via FTP and SAMBA server. No password protection to this mass storage. However, a WLAN laptop running Vista Business can't see this drive if attempting it via network drive sharing. No problems from central PC, win XP pro sp2, connected via LAN to DSL router. Scenarios: a) Start-Run- "\\fritz.box" Vista replies with "network path was not found" b) windows explorer-address bar-"\\fritz.box" "Windows cannot find \\fritz.box. Check the spelling and try again or try searching for the item by clicking the start button and then clicking Search". All requirements of FritzBox checked (win xp has no problems). What settings do I have to check on vista to get this working ? -- win xp pro sp 2 engl Excel, Word Viewers 2003 PP Viewer 2007 MS security patches applying manually only MBSA 2.0.1 Fx 2.0 as permitted browser only

FritzBox 7270 and mass storage
On the router I have switched off the password protection for this disk. But Vista still asks for password while attempting to connect with it via FTP. I have checked all settings under "Network and Sharing". All except for "sharing media files" (last topic) enabled. No help. However, some topics here are always grayed-out, e.g.: network discovery. I can't disable/enable those, cause they are always greyed out. Regardless what changes in other network configurations I do. -- win xp pro sp 2 engl Excel, Word Viewers 2003 PP Viewer 2007 MS security patches applying manually only MBSA 2.0.1 Fx 2.0 as permitted browser only "kaweka" wrote: Firewall, while enabled, doesn't report any blocked traffic. -- win xp pro sp 2 engl Excel, Word Viewers 2003 PP Viewer 2007 MS security patches applying manually only MBSA 2.0.1 Fx 2.0 as permitted browser only "kaweka" wrote: External hard drive connected through USB to my DSL router FritzBox 7270.
