Recently, I attached a Storex HD to my router (the usual Netgear). It appeared as a uPnP device and I was able to see it and browse the files by going to "My Network Places" - I could also read/write to it, of course.
Over this weekend, though, I had to re-install XP Pro on my laptop and now I can only see the HD and the files on it, if I enter "\\Storex" in the address line of "My Computer". Once I'm in to it, I can see the files, read them, copy them, whatever, BUT, I can't write to it. If I, eg, try and save a Word Document to it, it doesn't appear as a possible destination.
A drive like this that isn't USB attached is difficult for me, so any help will be gratefully received.
Thanks
