• Make sure that your PC has the TCP/IP netw ork pr otocol installed. (See “Appendix D: Window s Help” for
mor e infor mation.)

2. The Net work Attached Stora ge is configured, but I can’t fi nd it in Netw ork Neighborhood.

Go through t his checkl ist until your probl em is solved:

• Go to the Find function in the Start m enu. Choose Computer, and t hen enter the Net work Att ached
Storage’s name. In Window s 2000, go to Files and Folders and use the “ Search for a Comput er” option.

• If this doesn’ t wor k, choose the Network option of t he Control Panel t o check that t he TCP/IP protocol is
installed. If it isn’t i nst alled, use Add - > Protocol -> Microsoft -> TCP/IP to inst all it . In Window s 2000,
cli ck Instal l, not Add. In Window s NT, click the Protocols t ab, and then Add.

• Check the net w ork bindings. First, m ake sure that t he TCP/IP protocol is bound to your net work adapter
or card (NIC). Then, selec t your network card in the Control Panel , click Properties, and choose the

Bindings tab. If TCP/IP is not bound (checked), check it.

• Make sure that the TCP/IP -> netw ork card entr y is bound t o the Client f or Mic rosoft Netw orks service.
Select the TCP/IP entr y for your network adapt er or c ard, click Properties, and then choose the Bindings
tab. If Client f or M icrosof t Netw orks is not bound (check ed), check it.

• If you don’ t have a rout er, make sure t hat your IP Address is com pat ible w ith the Net work Attached
Storage’s IP Addr ess. This m eans it needs to be in the sam e address range (e.g. 192.168.1.3 to

192.168.1.254) and using the same Subnet Mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0).

• If you do have a r outer, check that you r Gatew ay IP Address is set corr ectly. Ask your LAN adm inist rator for
the correct value.

• If you have changed the name of t he Net work Att ached Storage, change the nam e back to t he default
name.

3. When I click the Network Attached Storage’s icon in Netw ork Neighborhood, I ’m prompted for a
passw ord.

This can happen in the fol low ing situations:

• Your Wind ow s login nam e is recognized by the Netw ork Attached Storage, but your login passw ord is not.

Simply enter your passw ord, or m ake your Windows password the same as t he Netw ork Attached
Storage’s passw ord.

• Your Window s login nam e is not recogni zed by the Netw ork Attac hed Storage, so by default you are given

guest access rights. If you ar e not the Network Admini str ator, ask your Administ rator to create a user
name for you. (Use the sam e name as your login name.)

• You do not have acc ess perm ission for this share. If you are not t he Network Admini str ator, ask your

Administrator to grant you access.

4. When using the Web-based Utility of the Network Att ached St orage, some of the data w ill not fit on
the screen, and there is no scroll bar.

You may be using extra-large fonts in your brow ser or in Window s. To change your brow ser’s font si ze, select

View from your br ow ser’s m enu, and change the f ont size there. To change the size of your Windows fonts,

cli ck the Start button. Select Set tings and click Control Panel. Double-click Display. Select Settings. Click
the Advanced butt on. Change the font size to either Sm all or Large (both should work ). Click the OK butt on
to save your change.

5. A print job does not print and no error m essage is displayed.

The amount of fr ee disk spac e on the Netw ork At tached Storag e is probabl y not suffici ent to spool (queue) the
print job. The Netw ork Att ached Stor age’s disk usage can be checked using the Status - Disk screen of t he
Web-based Utili ty. If thi s is the problem, then you must delet e som e print jobs. Follow these i nstructions:

1. Select Pr int er from the Statue m enu of t he Web-based Uti lity.

2. Select Delete Current Job to delete the current pr int job, or select Delete All Jobs to delet e all pr int jobs.
