I've connected a usb hard drive to my router and set it up as a shared device in the TP Link manager. In windows it shows up as a Network Media device, C2300-share but I can not open it. When I double click it, it takes me to a web page entitle MiniDLNA 1.1.2 which gives info about the contents of the drive.In TP Link It is set up to enable Network Neighborhood and FTP and to share all folders, which appear when the drive is expanded. Everything seems to work except the final step of opening the share in windows. Any ideas would be appreciated.
@warrentel Try the IP address as the name may not be resolving correctly. The IP address that you would use is the IP address of the TP-Link router so if the IP of the router is 192.168.0.1 enter in the explorer address bar:
\\192.168.0.1
or try ftp://192.168.0.1
@warrentel When you are at the map drive creation screen, manually type in the same address you used to access the drive with the IP. Make sure to open your start menu, right click on my computer, and select "map network drive".
