Network Storage In Leopard

[boogieman]

After installing Leopard I can no longer access my network storage, I have a maxtor 500 network storage hard drive that plugs directly into my router. Previously in Tiger all I had to do was hit network and bam it was there. Now in Leopard I cannot find it anywhere!! Can anyone help me out? Thanks for your help.

Yeah, tons of people(including me) are having network problems in general. We can't get any computers to show up in finder. We're all, at this point, expecting a fix from Apple.

Some people, however, have been reporting that updating your router's firmware seems to help, so give that a try.

Btw how do you change network name? It is different in 10.5. Where did they move it?

I found turning off the firewall solved a lot of issues also.

^ DO THIS.

Firewall is blocking EVERYTHING it seems. Turn it off, sleep your Mac and rewake it.

I found Firewall settings under Security on the Firewall tab, but can't find a general Turn Firewall On/Off. ???
