trouble mapping drives

I have successfully upgraded to unslung 6.10(thanks to all for the
help). I still cant map my slug drives. The net access works fine and
can add and delete files, but no drive can be placed into "my computer".

When I try the mapping utility, the drive does not show up under my
network. It does show up under "my network places", however it is
listed under "unspecified" rather than "workgroup". Is this why it is
not being found under my mapping utility? If so how do I fix this?

Cant wait for the day I can contribute!

Thanks in advance!

>EDIT:

I can NOT add or delete files! I can only create shortcuts by drop and
drag. Sorry for bad info!

In the Linksys Web GUI, on the Administration->System page you can set
the workgroup.

You wont believe this! I finally, out of blind frustration, changed
the word "workgroup" to "WORKGROUP" and was able to map the drive!
WOW......just wow.......

Hope this helps someone save about 4 hours of their life sometime in
the future.
