[QUOTE="ndwork, post: 1446690, member: 272477"] [b]It was a Belkin issue[/b] I had this same issue. I just spoke with a Belkin representative who seemed like she knew what she was doing. According to the representative, there is no way to get around these additional characters. The characters in parentheses are the name that the router assigns to that drive (analogously to how a windows computer might assign a thumb drive the character G: ). What one can do, is map to the ip address of the router. The default ip address is 192.168.2.1. So one can map to \\192.168.2.1. This maps to a "directory" that offers you the network drive and any printers that are connected to the router. I asked the representative if it's possible to map a subdirectory of the network drive; the answer was no. I guess it's reasonable; it's not really a NAS, it's a router with a hard drive attached. I hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
