first of all thanks for your answer!!!

ive tried that and i can see all of the network but i cant open them...

if you press ok on the one you want it should give you the option to expand it and then you need to mount it

ive tried it and when i press expand it doesnt do anything the only thing i can expand is the vu+ duo ip address...

when u click "OK" on your NAS drive when it shows up in the Network Browser, does it not take you to a screen where it asks you to setup the mount?

no...

im trying to mount the hard drive that is connected to my computer which i see on the list but when i press expand nothing happens..

aaaah ok sorry i thought u were trying to mount a network drive ... a few people have tried to mount the computers hdd to the duo but not been succesful including myself. i think the windows filesystem isnt compatible with the linux one, i was reading somewhere on the net but wasnt possible, i tried all sorts to get my duo to mount my laptops hdd but it just wouldnt happen

ohhh thanks alot for your help!!!!!
if im connecting an external drive to my router will i need to format it so the vu+ duo will recognize it??

if its a Network drive then you shouldnt have to if you plan on just streaming movies from the hdd to the duo. Ive got a Western Digital world edition which is connected to my router. I just mounted it via the Network Browser and i can stream the movies off it onto the duo

Hi,
You can try running a Linux Virtual Machine in windows
Check this nice guide :

http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/beginners-guide-run-linux-like-any-other-program-in-windows.html

When running Linux Virtual Machine on PC the VU+ will see it and should then read your windows hdd if you follow the guide/config etc.

I use an Acer Revo w/ XBMC so dont use VU+ for playback at all really....but use this for other things
cheers & good luck
