Not able to access Server Behaviours on Windows 8.1

Question

I moved my Dreamweaver from a Windows Vista Computer to a Windows 7 Computer and the to Windows 8.1.
Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are 64 bit
I am using ASP and MySQL
On the Windows 7 computer if I create a new ASP page, the Server Behaviour Plus Button is active, but on the Windows 8 computer the plus buttton is greyed out when I create a new page and I see the message to create a site for the file, chose a document type and set up a testing server.
If I open an existing ASP page which has a Recordset already created, then the Plus Button is active and I can add a new recordset
But if I want to add a parameter when creating a link on a form to submit, I am not able to create a parameter and am told to create a site for the file, chose a document type and set up a testing server.
I cannot find a reason why on Windows 8.1 there is a problem while on Wondows 7 there is no problem
To the best of my knowledge both computers are set up in the same way for Dreamweaver
I have tried creating a new site with new pages, but that does not solve the problem
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi,
Are you able to access the NAS via ip address? What is the result?
The connection can also be blocked by firewall or anti-virus installed in your system, so I suggest you temporarily disable firewall\anti-virus software, and check if issue persists.
Meanwhile, you can try the following registry settings and see the result, launch registry editor, locate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System
create a new DWORD entry with the name EnableLinkedConnections and value 1, then restart PC
