Bruce, since you worked with a Chinese manual.... ;-) Things were going along well last night, I was able to access via Finder/Server having set a few users/Group, then I lost connection and wasn't able to connect from that point onwards. One of the first things I had already done was given it a fixed IP, and the router continues to see it's there. I'm pretty sure it's because I hadn't had a chance to map the drive (if that's necessary with OS X) so I went searching for a trial/free solution to run their Windows-based software to finish the installation, which dragged into the night. So back to restart both computer and NAS but still I can't seem to access via smb or see the drive at all. Everything offered by websites is based on seeing the drive to get it to mount. Any thoughts? Find a PC friend to finish the installation?
