LaCie Network Assistant detects all network attached storage de- vices on your network and gives you easy ways to connect to or configure them.

Once installed and running, Network Assistant will appear in your task bar (Windows users, Fig. 2.3-A) or in the menu bar (Mac users, Fig. 2.3-B) and automatically search for storage devices on your network. When a new device is found, an info bubble containing the name of the device will appear.

When Network Assistant finds your LaCie Network Space, you can connect to any of the shares on the LaCie Network Space, log in to the NAS administration page, or configure the LaCie Network Space’s network settings, all from the Network Assistant menu.

2.Windows users, the CD should appear in My Computer. Mac users, the CD should appear on the desktop. Double-click the CD icon, then double-click “LaCie Network Assistant Setup”.
