Go crazy... Windows cannot access NAS 8

Please can anyone help with suggestions.

Had a laptop with Vista, and last year set up a NAS (Western Digital My Book Live Duo 4 to,) and copied a lot of content about it.

Recently (because of the inevitable death of my old VIsta laptop) have bought beautiful shiny new Windows 8 portable...

All good except that I can't go now my SIN so impossible to get my content and now go crazy, as have trawled through the forums and help pages, and I have tried everything it suggested and Western Digital Support can not provide suggestions that work either, please a help appreciated;

In Explorer, the NAS appears as a media server and I can browse to the shares on the NAS files and view but I can't do anything more with the files...

Network, the NAS will appear, but if I try to click Top I get an error dialog that Windows cannot access \\Nasdrivename, the details of which give error 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found.

If I click on diagnose it says that it cannot find any problems

In Device Manager, the NAS is shown in its own group 'Western Digital NAS' and there are 2 entries displayed with the NAS DSN titled My Book Live Duo Network Storage - in both cases, he says "the device is functioning properly.

If I Ping the DSN correctly resolved the IP address, and I can access the NAS admin page and change settings etc ok, I just can't access the NAS to add/delete/edit files and content, I can map it as a disk, nor can I access directly using the address IP etc.

I shot all the firewall disabled/enabled, removed the device and reinstalled several times, connected wireless and Ethernet and their various combinations, but all without success.

So please please help!
