Default Map Network Drive

Win XP Pro SP3

See NAS on LAN. See other NAS that has a drive letter set.

Workgroup set to match and see other PC too.

Microsoft Windows Network
MyWorkGroupName
When right click on NAS drive, Map Network Drive is grayed out.

How to fix please ? Am I in the wrong place to set as drive letter ?

NAS with a drive letter assigned also has it grayed out.

You are doing it the wrong way round.
In Explorer select ToolsMap network drive from the menu bar.
Accept or change the suggested drive letter.
Browse to your drive or enter its network URL (starting \\) manually.
