I have been trying for 2 days to setup one of my shared network hard disks with my Pinwheel HD mini. I have had no luck at all. Has anyone been able to access this type of drive. It is a Goflex Home 3GB network hard disk by Seagate. It is connected directly to my router and has its own IP address. I routinely access this drive from all my computers and various other multimedia devices. I usually can make things work but this has me stumped.

I have another 1gb network hard disk from Lecie and it works fine. It accessed immediatly to the OpenShare.

Any ideas or comments will be appreciated.

Perhaps I can help with some of the other issues as this product evolves into a great multimedia box.

I tried just the bare ip address and no connection. Just can't figure out what to name the baby that the receiver can access. This drive serves macs, ipads, windows pc's and my sony av receiver no problem.
