External Hard Drive Problems

    Hi all,

    I recently bought a NAS drive so I could watch movies and listen to music on my xbox with out having to have a pc turned on. ITs got a dnla server built in so I thought it would work

    Pluscom External Hard Drive

    So I plugged it into my eirocom router but it's not working as I would like. Actually it's not working at all.

    After a while the xbox does "see" the drive but it cant connect to it, it says there's a firewall problem, unfortunately when I plug it into the usb port at the front it doesn't pick it up at all. The pc picks it up ok so i'm stumped.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    At a guess i would imagine you need to format this to fat32 for it to work plugged in to your xbox? Im having major trouble getting the xbox to see any hard drives on my network atm too so i cant help there

    Thanks foxerv1 that worked perfectly. It seems silly not to use ntfs but ho hum its working now.

    If anyone has any tips on the network problems id be over the moon.

    It "see's" the hd if I test the network and leave it on the PC NOT LISTED page but it won't let be go any further than there.

    Very annoying

    Joe
