Hi all,
I've tried and tried and can't seem to make this work so hopefully someone can help me out here.. I'm trying to run a private network with 3 computers (could be cut down to 2 if needed for some reason), and a NAS drive. The computers connect to the internet individually through a wireless hotspot since I don't have access to wired internet here. The computers get on the internet just fine when the other network adapter for the wired private network is disabled. The problem I'm having is that right now my computers won't discover the NAS and I can't get access to the files on it. I have a buffalo air station to handle the network traffic. I recently changed a setting in it from router to bridge in an effort to fix a different problem where when I had both wireless and wired adapters enabled, my browser and internet based apps would turn to the air station for internet even though it's not connected to the internet. I'm running windows 7 on all machines, set up a workgroup and am able to access the computers fine, just not the NAS. I can provide more info if it's helpful but I've been beating my head off the wall here for weeks trying to fix this issue and getting nowhere.
Thanks in advance!
