I just got a new DSL Modem with a USB plugin. I added a USB hard disk to it. But I can not figure out how to get Linux to see it. Can someone give me a clue?

connected to your modem/router, it would have web access, ie: an ip number

access your router/modem and see what address the usb disk was given.

I did this and the modem is not seeing the HD. I'm using a new FRITZ!Box 3170. Can anyone that uses this box tell me how to get the box to see the HD? Thanks!

Do you have the 'right' file system on your HD? I have a Fritz 7340, but AFAIK all Fritz!Boxes till now only see FAT and FAT32.

Durn! That's the problem. I just checked and its NTFS. So I guess I need to reformat it. :( Thanks!

Is that USB port actually for use with a drive? The ones I've seen are for a network connection via USB, instead of Ethernet.

Yes, it is: http://www.avm.de/de/Produkte/FRITZBox/FRITZ_Box_WLAN/index.php#tabs-2 -- Harrie Baken | Tekstbureau TekstBaken Copy-editing - proofreading - seo http://www.tekstbaken.nl/ | harriebaken@linux.com IRCNet #TekstBaken | Skype: harricot Registered Linux user #366560 | openSUSE 11.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
