Network Storage Device Setup and Access problems
I have a Cisco/Linksis E4200 Router. It has both wired and wireless access. I have an external storage device attached that will not allow me to create new folders. The device is a 2TB Hard Drive in a Rosewill enclosure connected to the router by USB 2.0. I had to connect directly to the computer to format the drive initially, but I did not assign a drive letter. The software that came with the router, called Cisco Connect, set up the drive.
When I open the drive, there are files there for a program called Twonky that is apparently for wireless sharing. I am not sure I want to use it because the drive is primarily a backup, and secondarily for sharing. I tried to add a new folder, but it says I do not have permission to do this. I am logged in as an administrator. I changed permissions so that I have full access, but I still cannot add folders.
I am at a total loss here. I am not strong in networking. All I want is a drive that I can access through the router to backup and share files. You know, create folders, copy my music and stuff there, store backups, etc.
Anyone know what I have to do to access this drive?
