Media Connect recongizes and adds my Network Attached Storage Device (Buffalo
Link Station). However, my Roku Sound Bridge does not see the folder on that
drive. It does pick-up other folders on the computer itself.

Any clues?

There are some extra hoops you have to go through to get network shares to
work with Windows Media Connect. Please see

James,

Thanks for the response. I had seen that previously but tried it again. It
appears that my network drive is not adding the the needed premissions to
"network". It proceeds all the way through and allows me to add read
priviledges but when I click "ok", it defaults back to the original groups
without adding the new one. It currently displays the groups of Everyone,
nobody (network_drv\nobody), nogroup (network_drv\nogroup). Each has full
access.

Any thoughts?

Apparently, the default file format of the Buffalo DriveStation is Fat32,
which doesn't natively support setting security settings (or files greater
than 2GB). I'd try reformatting it to NTFS per
http://www.buffalotech.com/KB/index.php?ToDo=view&questId=12&catId=21 and
try again.

James -

Thanks for assistance. The Buffalo Link Station format is Ext3. It's my
undertanding that his can't be converted. Any other ideas?

Anthony
