Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Drivestation HD-CELU2 1.5 TB.

I have set it up correctly with an old PC, but it refuses to work with my Mac.

The installation CD has no MaC Software, even though the advertisements say it is compatible.

I have managed to connect to it, in USB mode, but NAS is giving me lots of problems and now it crashes my Finder evry time I open a window.

I can see the IP of the drive and access it's configuration options through Safari, but I can't connect to it, upload or download files.

NasNavigator2 does not see the drive even when I'm checking the disk or something through the web interface.

Anybody have any suggestions or similar problems?

Thanks in advance,

MAG

How are you trying to connect afp or smb?

Both. Afp gives me an instant error, drive cannot be **bleep** to the Connect to Server window.

Thanks,

MAG

BTW, that **bleep** is "found". Weird.

The message is: Afp gives me an instant error: Drive cannot be **bleep** to the "Connect to server" window. When it does connect, it is unaccessible because Finder crashes constantly.

Thanks,

MAG

Here's what I posted before:

I just bought an HD-CELU2 1.5TB DriveStation FlexNet.

Firmware is: BUF-CELU2-1.4.7 LOADER 3.5W1.9

I am running Mac OS X 10.6.1 on a MacBook Pro.

1. I can see the drive in my browser at 10.0.1.2, but I cannot connect to it.
2. There was no Mac software on the CD.
3. NasNavigator 2 doesn't see the drive.
4. I installed software and connected to the drive from Windows XP, no problem (Bootcamp).
5. The drive is fine in USB, but I really bought this for the Ethernet capability and speed.

1. Understood, this is the problem.

2.  The drive is compatable with mac, not the backup software

3.  NASNAVI won't find this device.  That is for our dedicated NAS devices

4.  Lets us know the drive is functional

5.  Understood

Im not sure why you needed to reiterate this so I responded to each number (and those bleeps are weird, I will have to ask about that).  What is the IP address of your MAC?  Is the flexnet connected to a switch or router?

Internally? My Mac's IP is 10.0.1.13

The flexnet is connected to a Airport Extreme and it's been assigned IP 10.0.1.2.

When I didn't find any software in the cd, I looked at the website and there was a NasNavi2 for Macs for HD-CELU2 drives.
