NAS not being seen on nework
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TD-W8970
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version :
ISP : Virgin
I've just replaced my aging ZyXel Wireless Router with a TD-W8970 which connects to the internet with no problems whatsoever.
However, I have an ethernet connected Western Digital MyBookLive NAS which is happily allocated an IP addess but does not show up on my network on my PC (Windows Vista - fully patched). A usb connected pen drive and exactly the same. Am I missing something blindingly obvious? On the ZyXel the NAS worked with no problems whatsoever.
TIA.

Edited to add:
The problem with the NAS was my internet security Bitdefender. For some reason, on installing the TP-W8970, it switched my firewall status to public from home/office. Corrected that and the NAS can now be seen over the network.
This does not fix the USB attached pen drive not being seen problem though.
