[QUOTE="TedTimmis, post: 771457, member: 77787"] [b]Connecting Seagate Drive to Airport Extreme[/b] Hey Badmonkey, Thanks for the reply. I used the Bonjour software which came with the router as you indicated, but the Bonjour software only refers to shared printers. Initiating the Bonjour software wizard, it allows one to select from any networked printers. Unfortunately, the the hard drive is not listed. Also, neither the router nor the hard drive are listed under "My Computer". Shouldn't these devices be listed? I will check Itunes and the Apple website to see if there is newer versions of the software, although I just bought the drive. I also hope you could clarify one point you made. You stated,"to navigate to another PC from vista you either type \\PC_NAME_Here where the PC name is the assigned name of the other PC... " First, how does one find the name of the PC? Secondly, where does one type in the name to navigate to that PC? Again, any help that you or anyone else could extend would be much appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
