How to: access a hard driver connected to router

by dillon.damien . Updated 16 years, 7 months ago

I just bought a new router which has the option to network a hard drive directly connected to it but am having difficulties.

I can see the hard drive when I log into the router under Storage-Disk. I can create a share and have shared the whole drive.

How can I access the drive via the wireless? Should it be in my network places?

Tech specs:
Router: Linksys wireless-N broadband router with storage link
Hard Drive: Iomega 1TB Desktop hard drive (NTFS)
Laptop 1: Windows XP Pro SP3 Wireless G card
Laptop 2: Linus Ubuntu Wireless N card

Setup:
All computers are on the same workgroup and I can access shared files and folders.
