Title: Installation of Buffalo NAS
Post by: tgeary on February 21, 2010, 04:59:05 PM
   

I had installed the software on my laptop running WinXP Pro. It started not to recognize the link station. Sometimes it would, but most times not. So I installed. And now it wont install. I connect wireless from the lap top to the link station. I have my desktop hard wired and one other laptop that connects to the shares wireless just fine. What shall I do to get the install complete.

There is nothing special that you have to install on all of your PC's to get this to work.  On one of your PC's in your network have the Nas Navi utility installed.  That utility is used to get the IP address and some basic info from the unit.  Once it locates the IP address there is two simple ways to get to the Nas.  First to map the drive to make it show up as a HD in "my computer", "computer" you can do the following.

 

Go to 'Start->'Run'. In the Run box type \\192.168.11.150 where 192.168.11.150 is the IP address of the NAS. Or, In the Run box type \\HOSTNAME where HOSTNAME is the Hostanme of the NAS. This will open a window with the shares. Right-Click on the share you wish to map and select Map Network Drive. You will then have the option to choose a drive letter.  Make sure the box is checked for reconnect after logon. Once you have done so, click 'Finish'.

 

To get to the Admin Web Page to set up all your Configurations you can do the following.

 

In the Run box you can type in //ipaddress of nas.

 

Open your web browser and type in the IP address of your NAS in the address bar.  The username/password should be admin/password unless you have changed it.
