I purchased the OWC NASPerform over the weekend when it was on sale ($15) for the sole purpose of putting it in the DMZ of my home network. I thought this would be an easy way to retrieve a file from my home network. I could remote into one of my Mac's via LogMeIn on my iPhone, copy the file to the NAS and download to whatever computer I needed, anywhere. A quick and dirty FTP if you will.
Turns out, this little bugger doesn't use NAS technology per se. It uses a proprietary method that does not use a TCP/IP connection and therefore has no IP address assigned to it by the router. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? I don't want to connect it to a computer just to get an IP.
