So my 100g hd on the laptop is 90% full and really slowing things down ... the solution is to finally get around to adding my Network Storage ... I thought it would be plug and play but apparently it's a lot easier said than done.
My OS is Windows VISTA, the network storage is the Thecus N2200 with two 1TB WD Cavier Green drives in it, and my router is the D-Link DIR-625.
The problem is that the Thecus Setup utility hardware doesn't "see" the NAS drives ... even though the router has no problem assigning an IP address for the N2200.
I've added the Utility program to the firewall exception list (and even tried turning the firewall off and anti-virus) ... and I've tried playing around with some of the Router's configuration to see if it could make a difference.
Googling produced no answer, couldn't find an answer on the Thecus forums, and Thecus support hasn't gotten back to me.
Not sure what to try now ... any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Ken.
