Cannot connect to NAS drive on Network
UsingVista Ultimate.I am unable to connect to my NAS drive to view files stored on it.The NAS drive has ip 192.168.2.6 and i AM able to ping it with successful replies.However the NAS drive does not show up in the DHCP list on my router. I have been told by tech support of the NAS drive that typing \\192.168.2.6 in explorer should open the NAS drive contents, but it does not, instead giving the error:192.168.2.6 is not set up to establish a connection on port "Firewall and printer sharing (SMP)" with this computer.error code: 0x80070043The network name cannot be foundany help on this would be great. Thanks

I realize this is an older posting but I did have the same issue and thought I'd post another possible solution to what was listed. Starting from: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections select the Network adapter you have active. Right Click on Properties Ensure you have a Client for Microsoft Networks as one of the listed properties. If not add it which you might need to disable the adapter and then re-enable it. Without this I could not access my NAS. Once installed it was back to full service. I dont know how it was removed but thats a different issue for another day. Hope it helps someone.
