Thanks - did as you suggested, did a restore. Naturally, had to go thru each admin tab and set settings like enable FTP, power settings, etc. Time Machine backup works fine, web cameras can save files via FTP. I.e., it looks like it is working normally, but.... Still can't just open up the share / NAS with Finder and see a directory of a sub folder. Can see the main folder (root), but not below that. Just grinds and grinds and grinds. Yes, 1.43 would be welcomed, it worked. This is under Snow Leopard. Maybe under attempt to get firmware to work under Lion, they accidentally goobered something up. Thanks.
