I'm assuming the drive is using FAT32, it is a 1tb drive attached to an ASUS RTN56U router directly. My Win7 PC has no troubles with this, also my Boxee Box connects quite well to it. My Macbook Pros however don't seem to see it for some time when started. I can supposedly connect to it using an ftp://admin@<username>.asuscomm.com address as well as an ftp://admin@192.168.2.1 for within the LAN, but neither seem to "stick". The Macs also seem to find both a "homeoffice" and a "home_office" which neither seem to exist, although my pc is on the LAN as HomeOffice it is normally not running. (Although it is normally in "sleep" mode if that is significant) Does any of this make any sense at all? And what could I do to make the Macs connections to the network drive more reliable?
