Re: NAS Issue
Please try opening a command prompt, then type:
net use \\192.168.1.250
If there is a username/password required, you'll need to do:
net use \\192.168.1.250 /user:<name-of-NAS>\<username here>
and enter password when prompted. May also be worthwhile checking Windows' user account settings in case it saved a wrong password somewhere and keeps trying to use it. Before you do either of these, just do "net use" on it's own, and press enter, and take note of the output.
You could also try \\localhost to see if the SMB client in Windows is b0rked, if so that's a different issue.
Finally, also worth trying telnet/putty to connect to port 445 on the NAS to see if your computer can establish a connection at all.
Windows 7 has some more strict defaults for network protocol security, and if the settings don't match all sorts of funny things can happen.
P.S. A quick search suggests some people have fixed it by turning on network discovery. Do you have network discovery turned on? The settings you should use on Advanced sharing settings page are:
Network discovery - On
File and printer sharing - Either - should have no effect on this
Public folder sharing - Either - should have no effect on this
File sharing connections - Enable file sharing for devices that use 40- or 56-bit encryption
Pasword protected sharing - On
Homegroup connections - Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers.
