Hey there,
I purchased an Iomega Dual USB 2.0/Firewire External Hard drive. It is formatted as a FAT32 drive, and I was able to mount it on my G5 desktop just fine out of the box. However, when i tried to access it through my networked Powerbook, it wouldn't appear. Just to be clear, all I did was attach the drive to my G5 and mount it. I connect to the G5 from my PB through my Airport network. I was able to see the internal hard drive and desktop of the G5 just fine (as well as an iPod and inserted CD,) but no Iomega external hard drive. Am I missing something? I asked Iomega tech support about this and the woman told me that it was a networking issue and that as they recently added a network-specific hard drive to their product line, they are unwilling to explain how to network my current model. Any ideas?
Thanks.
BTW- Both computers are running OS X 10.4.3
