Connectiong a Windows Media Center to a NAS
I have recently bought a WD My Book Live (2TB), and I have put all my media on to it (in the folders that where already set up), and mapped these.
This included a folder that contained DVD files (ripped via DVD Shrink)
In Windows Media Player (Ver 11) I added the mapped drives in the library option.
When I run Media Centre it only sees local drives and not any on the NAS.
Any help to enable Media Center to see the NAS would be grateful.
I'm running windows XP Media Center Edition)

OK I managed to get it to find the media (right clicked and selected Add Vid/Pics/Music etc)
But I still cannot get it to find DVDs, I go into My DVDs and I get the busy icon, if I try and go to the folder via My Video, but when I click on the relevant DVD folder it crashes Media Center.
