Simpletech NAS drive access problem

Zone: Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: simpleshare, nas, simpletech

I have a Simpletech 'Simple Share' Network Accessible Storage drive. The drive is connected to Netgear Router.
The drive shows up under Windows XP and 2k on two different machines as part of the workgroup. The problem is that when I attempt to access the drive I get and error, "\\Simpleshare is not accessible - the network path was not found".
Attempts to get help from Simpletech have been futile. Their only answer is to disable the firewall which I have done on both computers and the router - same result.

Has anyone had success using the Simpletech Simple Share NAS with a Windows box?
