The day before the hubster's car got totaled, I ordered a 1Gb flash drive and a Network Attached Storage device (NAS). The NAS is a SimpleTech SimpleShare 
device. I tried to cancel the order on Saturday (post-wreck) and it had already shipped. So when it arrived Tuesday, I talked with the JoelMan and he said I could keep it.
I tried to set it up last night. After all, it's supposed to be simple to set up, and my tech guru Mosker said that it was pretty simple. Sigh. Not so for me. I followed instructions, I used the CD with QuickSetup and I still can't "get there from here."
I won't tell you what my IQ has tested at, or how many grad degrees I have, but I'm feeling pretty stupid right now. I'm going to have to whine to my friend Mosker and probably bribe her with some artichoke dip and Mike's to help me, the dunce, out.
And you know what will happen? It'll work perfectly for her. She'll do exactly what I did, but it'll work for her.
My only consolation is that knitting socks is simple for me, but not for her. Ha!
I wasn't happy with how the device performed when I configured it according to the directions. As I recall, I employed a workaround that wasn't in the manual.

that is a wonderful consolation!

Now that I've thought about this a little longer, I realize there's no way to troubleshoot this setup problem over the telephone. After all, the configuration on your device might be completely different from mine.
And as it will take hours and hours, you should make a double-batch of dip.
