Can anyone advise me of a really good, readable, Windows 7 TCP/IP network share guide, book, or reference.

I want this because I cannot mount my Lacie 2big ethernet network drive in Windows 7 (32 bit home), but I can mount it in Windows XP Home 32bit, Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and Apple MacOS X. This drive is being mounted via the accompanying Lacie Ethernet Agent in XP (which I believe uses "Bonjour" protocol), on Mac and Linux it works without further need for software.

Another Super User user has the same problem, but no answer: Trouble accessing network drives in Windows 7

I hope my take on the question shows a better willingness to investigate and do some digging - and therefore invite some suggestions to help with this.

The drive is detected by Windows 7 (i.e. speech bubble "network drive found") but on trying to open an Explorer window, this remains blank with the Windows busy pointer.

I'd prefer not to reinstall Windows 7 to see if that cures the problem, I'd rather understand what is happening/not happening, perhaps even compare differences with Windows XP.

Suggestions, please for such guides or even the original problem itself.
