Connecting to a NAS drive

[OverMyHead]

I have 2 machines on hamachi and can chat between them. I've read most of the posts on accessing a NAS drive, but haven't found a straght clear answer.

Both machines have the public NAS drive mapped locally. When I browse from machine 1 to machine 2, I can see printers and a few other irrelevant files that appear to be shared.

When I browse from 2 to 1, it asks me for a guest login password. I've seen other people with this problem, but haven't seen a solution. And I'm not even sure that this is the problem - maybe it is.

I'd like to be able to see files on the NAS drive when browsing from #2 to #1.

If you have any suggestions, please pretend you're speaking to a 5 year old so I can follow along!

Thanks !

Are you in the current situation?

Computer A is connected to the same physical local network as the NAS drive is. It has the NAS drive mapped as a Network Drive. Let's assume the NAS is mapped as a network drive, to the letter W:

Computer B is on a separate physical network to the NAS drive, but can see Computer A via LogMeIn Hamach.

If the above statements are true, could you not just either:

1) Enable Remote Desktop on Computer A and then use Remote Desktop to connect to it from Computer B. Then you can control it just as if you were sitting at Computer A.

2) From computer B access the NAS drive by typing the following into the Run command, Windows explorer address bar, etc: \\ComputerA\w$

Replace Computer A with either the IP or Name of Computer A on your network.

I have assumed above you are running windows, but the same general steps should work if you're on Linux or Mac...
