The NAS device never shows up when I browse to map a drive on any of my workstations. I just have to type the NAS ID in from memory. This is not that big of a deal, but was just wondering if anything I could do to have it show up when I browse to map a drive?
 
The problem might be WINS. How big is your network? Are you in a domain? Do you have a WINS Server? I would say that having a WINS server you most likely help. This does not mean that you need to go buy a server just to be a WINS server. If you have NT,Win2K+ server, then it could be the wins server. If you are using SAMBA PDC, or a SAMBA File Server, then it could be the WINS server.
