    I am having a similar problem with a Snap Server I recently acquired.
    For some reason or another my computer is not seeing it on the network.
    It assigns itself its own ip address.

    So I attempted to access it with my browser as recommended in the manual.
    http://ip and it doesn't connect.

    So. .I reset the Snap to factory defaults hoping it will be recognized by windows in the network tab, but its not showing up.

    I have both a router and hub, I tried hooking it up every which way.
    At one point it recognized it on the router, but it disabled my local internet access.
    I think i'm going to have to go over my local security policy, and edit the permissions.
    Any ideas?

    Ive already made the necessary modifications in the registry to configure the client computer to support NTLMv2. I also downloaded the Snap Assist software, it doesn't see it.

    Right click your drive that is being shared, and there's a box under the network name field that says "Allow other users to change my files". Be sure that is checked.
    Right on the money! Thanks Joe! ++rep

    Any time bud. If you ever wish to go the LAMP route, hit me up, I'll be more than happy to help. I'm guessing the same would go for Rick too.

    We'll see. I think this setup is going to work rather well though. I moved my ATI TV Wonder Elite card over to the media box with a 200GB and two 750GB drives, and a ATI Radeon 2600 Pro card. This way, if I can install media center extender on the Win XP Pro PC, the media box will function as a DVR, stereo, and storage device. I hope this all works the way I want it to, I've been wanting this setup for ages.

    The storage system I have will probably go that same route at some point. All I really need is a couple more Hard drives and a TV card and I think I'll be golden for that. Glad the mapping network drives worked for you. completely forgot about the allow other users box. sorry.

    You want to see this mess? Okay, but you asked for it.





    I'm thinking about using that old wooden media center case I made eons ago instead of this Compac case, jury is still out on that decision.

    Interesting way you've got those hard drives arranged. That a custom rack?

    yeah, I had a small scrap of aluminum with pre-drilled holes so I used it to bracket the drives together for simplicity's sake.
