The first thing I did was enable Netbue over TCP/IP, but later read that I didn't have too!?! (there seems to be lots of contradicting advice out there!). After that didn't work I threw the towel in for a couple of days. When I started again, I disabled my firewalls (which I had done before numerous times) and hey presto, when I went to map the drives there it was! (God this is turning into a blog! lol).
Regards the backing up, I lost 6 years of digital photos and documentation when my hard drive crashed some time ago so I run 2 drives on the same PC now and use Powerquest Datakeeper for automated back-up.

PS; Good luck, sorry I can't be of more help to you, I for one know just how frustrating it can be when it won't work!!!!!
