Lets see how badly I can complicate this install...
Mac Pro
Bootcamp
Windows 7
2x WD Green (2TB drives)
Direct Ethernet cable
k...
Nothing comes up when I start the Easy Search Utility. No sign of drive, except that my LAN said I'm connected to an "unidentified network."
- Not been able to map \\192.168.0.20\Volume_1 or get anything on \\192.168.0.20 for that matter
Can't see anything using ESU in XP mode
- Can't upgrade Firmware without the initially configuring (can I?) newest firmware supports 2TB drives (that mean it didn't before - could that be it?)
Any help would be appreciated ;D

Are you connected to a router with the NAS or directly to it from the Ethernet port on your Mac? If you don't have a DHCP server in the mix, the NAS comes up with a default IP address, I recall it's 192.168.0.32, you won't find it at 192.168.0.20.

thanks for the quick reply -
I tried both, with a time capsule in the mix, and then directly to the power mac. same result. I just tried the alternative 192.168.0.32 with no success.
more info.
- DNS has middle blue light (connect notice) on, both drive lights are on too.

If you're going to use a direct connection you'll need to configure a static address on the power mac.

SOLVED:
The 323 I bought was from Fry's and they repackage a lot of returns. Therefore I had to RESET the DNS before anything at all would work. There's a little hole in the back and a paper-clip did the trick. I guess this is because someone set it up for their machine and then returned it without resetting it.
Thanks for the help.
