[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1624317, member: 38864"] Oh... I see now. My bad. i thought you were trying to use a USB cable and treat it like an external hard drive. :Oops: I hate to tell you this, but I just plugged in my Diskstation's ethernet cable directly into my iMac and it automatically picked it up. I didn't even need to set up an ad-hoc network and I have no file sharing options enabled on the Mac. My iMac is still online via wi-fi and I'm transferring a 5 GB movie to the Diskstation over ethernet now. Aaaaaaand.. that took under 2 minutes. What services do you have enabled on the Diskstation? Make sure you have "Mac File Service" enabled in the Diskstation's Control Panel under File Services. You can then access the Diskstation's drive directly via the sidebar item in Finder, under "Shared". [/QUOTE]
