Anybody out there have any experience setting up Network Attached Storage?

I just got a NAS RAID array and though my computers can all see it on the network, when I try to access it the "pathway cannot be found". Occasionally the computers will be able to see the contents of the drive briefly before it disappears again, but even then it goes extremely slowly. Connecting the drive directly to one my computers' ethernet port works just fine.

So I think I've tracked it down to a router problem... either because theres some kind of firewall/setting/security thing I can't track down or because I bought the cheapest POS Belkin I could find when I moved here.

OYE.


UPDATE: VICTORY! Added an additional (unnecessary) 10/100 switch between the Belkin Router and my NAS and, like magic, it works. Not sure why or how. But that's ok.
