I have recently bought the DLINK 2750U DSL Router and plugged in USB drive 8gb Behind it and i am able to access the usb drive via my android phone through app called ES Explorer even in my MACBOOK AIR it is easily accessible. with Link
\\192.168.1.1\usb1_1 easy.
But i have tried everything in WINDOW XP acer LAPTOP but of no Help.
Please help in accessing the usb drive in WIN XP.
Please helpI have even tried reinstalling network lan wifi drivers.
also tried mapping drives through FTP but i GUESS on DLINK 2750U the sharing of USB drive through SMB (Samba i guess) so it is accessible to McOS and Android. But Bloody WIN XP is not.
Any pointers guys.
Is the file system FAT for the 8GB or other?

Does this device claim to have support for Windows XP with the NAS feature?And which ver. of XP and is Service Pack 3 installed ? ?

Reason i ask is USB native support was initially weak for XP...Hi,
patio

Service pack 2 only.
Do i need to install service pack 3 for this.
It is no where WRITTEN for product that NAS feature is supported for WIN XP.
But my point is if i am able to access the same on the Mc OS and Android then why can't on XP.
and my XP is Service pack 2,

USB File System is FAT .Both the Macbook Air and Android came out waay after XP was released...
If in total desperation and the Mac is always connected. You might be able to SET up a share through the Mac for the Windows XP system to connect through to get to the NAS. But this is an ugly way of getting access to that 8GB. http://www.mac-connect.com/mac_from_win.php
