Ok so I have only had this device a couple of days but there are some things that I have noticed.

First a couple people have said it does not work with Windows Vista very well on a local/private network. This is NOT true it is however tricky to get set up, after that it works fine. See directions below.

Second it is important to understand the the USB 2.0 (or higher) connection will transfer data four times faster than the Network connection, and the Network connection will transfer data ten times faster than USB 1.1 (or lower). So if you are trying to tansfer over 5GB using the USB 2.0 is better to use and less time consuming. The Network connection is fine for files of average size.

Third the FTP option works well for accessing data while away from home. To set this up it will require playing around with your router or modem settings to allow the device to be used for FTPing through port 21. You will also need to record the WAN address used. To access it while away just type "ftp://" and the WAN address then ":21" in your Internet Explorer browser.

Directions for Vista:
Set up for Vista is a little different because the default Windows Vista set up uses a different nameing system than Windows XP (Not Nexstars fault). You will need to know the IP address that you Nexstar is using while connected to your local/private network. You can find it by logging into your modem or router that it is connected to and viewing the device details. After you know the IP addess you can log into your Nexstar's set up menu by following the directions in the manual, except where it say to type storage you type the IP address. Once your settings are done you can access the drive. Just follow the directions in the manual for "File Access on PC", use the second method listed. All you are doing is typing "\\" and the IP address in Windows Eplorer or Internet Explorer, once the drive has shown you can right click on it and select "Map Network Drive..." and it will show up now in your "My Computer".
