Can't see NAS drives on network

My new Windows 7 Pro laptop cannot see my 2 NAS drives on my home wireless network. I can ping them, but they won't show up on the network and I can't access their shared folders. Using a Linksys WRT54G router. Suggestions?

There are a number of settings in Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Advanced Sharing -> Home or Work. Make sure that you have set things for file sharing, make sure you are not set to Public, and make sure you are not using Homegroup.

Also, try mapping a folder on your NAS with NET USE (NET USE Z: \\nasdrive\folder) . What answer do you get?

Good suggestions all, but unfortuantely I had already tried them. Could the 128-bit encryption setting be a problem? I would love to try mapping a folder on my NAS, but I can't get into it (as my other computer is dead)!
