I'm of little help here, sorry. I've found in the past that itunes does weird things when it see's a drive it was using for it's library disconnected. I'm wondering if you would be better off setting a static ip for your nas and the sb3. Depending on your router, a lot of the new ones allow this without making your entire network static. I think that this might help it make sure that everything is as Itunes expects. Other than this idea, I'm pretty useless here. :( Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will pipe in shortly. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53023 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
