Hi,

Note: I'm using Lion.

I've connected my external (Lantec) HDD to my AEBS via USB. In the settings, "Enable file sharing" is enabled, and "Secure Shared Disks" is set to "With AirPort Extreme password".

I however can't see my external HDD. I've gone to Finder and under the Devices tab I've gone to My iMac and then to Network and I don't see it.

Do I need to have "Share disks over the Internet using Bonjour" enabled? I want it shared over my WAN but not "over the internet".

Can anyone help? Thanks.

EDIT: Got it working. It was an old drive formatted as NTFS instead of whatever it's supposed to be for Mac, Mac Journaled or something.
