Hi, decided to buy a NAS and the Zyxel 325 seemed to fit the bill re: spec and price so I took the plunge and bought a 2TB WD Green drive to go with it. 4 days on I have finally managed to get my files transferred (very very slowly)and I am now able to stream to my TV but that's about all.

Problem 1 - I can't seem to access the administration page using the NAS starter utility to change settings. I did access it at one point but after numerous resets and reboots I can't get back to it.

Problem 2 - alongside it's use as a basic media server, I also wanted to access my files remotely i.e. from work if my portable drive ever failed but I'm at a complete loss as to how to do this. I have looked at Polkast and Dropbox as options but thought there must be a secure way to access my drive directly using it's IP address and a login.

The instructions supplied are sparse to say the least and the downloadable user guide is 400+ pages and although I've tried to work out what is going wrong I'm still baffled - help me please before I go mad :-)

Many thanks in advance
Mike
