Ah, I see, so a straight USB cable between the laptop & the NAS and the laptop will pick up the share without issues? I assume that's right since I've finally nailed down the laptop seeing the shares wirelessly.
As to the slowness issues with the PC, I'm on Bell and have the 2 wire modem/router combo. Since my PC MB has a gigabit ethernet port, I'm wondering if I got a modem/router combo with B/G/N with gigabit ports should that not solve my slowness issues with at least the desktop PC? I'm almost certain based on what I've been reading that the Bell 2 Wire modem is a bottleneck for wired systems.
Apparently setting the Bell 2 wire into "bridge mode" is almost impossible without resorting to hacks and since I have to be able to give the modem back, hacking it isn't an option.
The issue is that the DSM software on the NAS *changes* the password I want to store. I enter my password, test email works. I hit save and the password actually changes! I know this b/c the password for my email account is longer than whatever password it is that the software is trying to save
