[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1364674, member: 38928"] OK. These are generic instructions. I can nail them down a bit if you give me make/model details for the router and NAS drive. You can log into your router and see which IP address has been allocatted to the NAS drive under attached devices (or similar). Alternatively there is often software that comes with a NAS drive for configuration purposes that will have a network section and list the device IP address. Once you know the address you can "Connect to Server..." (CMD+K) to enter the IP address. However, depending on the version od OSX you're running I'd expect the NAS to appear under Network in Finder. If it's not I'd suggest you haven't run through the NAS setup as per the instructions it will have come with. Many can be used out-of-the-box but often they need configuring to allow them to 'advertise' on the network, configure DLNA, folder access etc. Again, depends on the model. [/QUOTE]
