TS-219p II can find share via IP address but not DNS/sharena

Hi
I've recently purchased a QNAP TS-219P II, i have set it up on firmware 3.7.3. The issue i am having is after i have created my shares from the admin page i am unable to see them on my laptop/pc's. I am using Windows 7 x64 and my router is a Netgear WNDR4500 (N900) which acts as the DHCP server. I have set the NAS with a static IP address and checked the sharename and DNS server details and all seem to be correct.
On my laptop's i am able to go to start run and type in \\192.168.1.100 and i can see the shares, but nothing appears for \\nas (that is what i called the NAS in the admin page). Even when i click on start>network and refresh nothing new appears except for in other items the QNAP which when double clicked on goes to an IE page of the admin
Does anyone know why this is occurring? or how to fix this issue? as id rather connect to the share using a name rather than an ip address.
thanks
