I just received a LaCie 500GB mini Home Edition network drive. You connect it via ethernet to your router and should be able to access it anywhere on the internet. My Macbook pro cannot see the disk directly. But I can log onto the portal from a web browser. My westell VersaLink 327 dsl modem router recognizes the drive. by my mac osX 10.5.4 cannot find it. I have a trouble ticket into LaCie but they have not responded yet. Any help would be much appreciated.

Jump to PostHow is the drive being shared over the network (i.e. what network protocol is the hard drive being shared over)? Do you have its IP address?
Jump to PostStill wondering: how is this drive supposed to be mounted? If it's using Windows sharing, you'd need SMB, if it's file transfer protocol, you'd need ftp. It's hard to diagnose the problem when I don't know what's wrong with it (other than "it won't mount").
