Help! I am new to Mac. I just purchased a mac mini and have it running along side my pc. I have a Western Digital World Edition II RAID drive connected directly into my Netgear Router. My PC is able to access any information on it seamless through my broadband connection.

The problem I am having is when I try to access it through my mac. I am runnign leopard as MAC's OS. I have gone through the Network option in the finder and selected MShome and it was able to show my drive. I double click on the icon for my drive then get "select the SMB/CIFS volume i want to conenct to" It gives me three choices:
1. ID12103742
2. ID13568742
3. PUBLIC

1 and 2: I cant seem to get it to do anything

Choosing option 3 seems to let me connect. It shows the drive and the details of it. That is how big the drive is and how much available space I have on it but that is all. It will not show me any information that i have stored on it.

Can someone help me show with this. Any help would greatly appreacited.
