Hi - I am a reasonably long-time mac user - but not particularly competent at fixing network issues.
I have a macbook pro, a new mac mini, a Netgear WNDR 3800 router and 2 WD MybookWorld 2 hard drives.
All was working well - my macbook pro could back-up using time machine to one NAS drive and I saved my music on the other NAS drive. I then connected a new Mac Mini (via ethernet). When that is switched on the macbook pro can no longer see the back-up drive. When switched off it can.
I have also noticed that my macbook pro has a tendency to drop the wireless signal for seemingly no reason.
Clearly the mac mini is interfering somehow with the network - but no idea how. Google searched the issue and strangely can't find any examples of people with the same issue - which is unusual.
Any help greatly appreciated.
