You are a brave man Bruce. I bought that drive after trying the Ximeta hoping it would be a little better. The price was great even if you just used usb and firewire. It promises being able to add another drive to the network via usb and to function as a printer server. Great for $30. But I couldn't get anywhere with the docs. I read somewhere that the setup had to happen on Explorer and no other browser and that was true, but I couldn't get the settings right. Very strange. So I gave it to our I.T guru and we'll see what she can do with it. Maybe she can check with you if she needs help.
