Forgot My Network IP Address
If you forget your network IP address and have no physical access to the system, you can find out the IP address by either looking directly onto the M3800’s LCD panel, or by using the setup wizard to retrieve the IP of your M3800.
1.Start the Setup Wizard, and it will automatically detect all Thecus IP storage products on your network.
2.You should be able to find the IP address of the M3800 which you have forgotten in the Device Discovery screen.

Can't Map a Network Drive in Windows XP
You may have problems mapping a network drive under the following conditions:
1.The network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.
2.The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.
To check out existing network connections, type net use under the DOS prompt.
