if want use intended, true nas, want mange/configure built in admin software , connect network via ethernet. couple questions clarify...

how intend connect ae? usb or ethernet? if ethernet i'm pretty sure need administer via internal control software if want act standalone nas on network. if desire operate through usb connection configured using disk utility, bought wrong unit. cheaper direct connect drive have been more suitable.
