Quick bit of Mac Networking Help

divuk83 · 9 Aug 2011 at 20:51

A quick question for anyone who knows more about Mac's than me (most people); How can I get my NAS to show in the Finder? Pre Lion upgrade it just apeared in the right hind side of my finder window however I can't seem to see it now. I have changed the options of what should be shown on the finder rhs bar but its still not there.

FYI; Networking is all wired through a decent switch, mac firewall is off and its a ready nas duo and it does show using the readynas widget on my mac.

Thanks in advance.

Think I have found out why, hopefully the beta drivers for my NAS will sort this.

Thanks for that, there is a newer beta version of the firmware which supports Lion which I will try when I get home from work tomorrow moring. Fingers crossed that will sort it as I have all my media on it!

Now sorted, for future reference anyone having trouble seeing their NAS after upgrading to Lion should update the firmware on their NAS with Lion compatible firmware.

I'm not sure mine was an explenation as I don't really understand the reasoning why! My Ready NAS vanished from finder the second I installed Lion and since installing some new firmware which has "OS X Lion compatibility" it has suddenly come back.

I'm just glad to have it sorted.
