Networked hard drive

[Anne Wilson]

I've bought a drive with usb and network connection.  I used the usb to 
quickly transfer a large quantity of data, but intended putting it onto the 
network after that.  The blurb on the box said it would just pick an ip by 
dhcp.  However, it seems to me that I need to know something about it in 
order to mount it, and I've got a total blank on where to go next.  Nothing 
appears in /var/log/messages.

I've told the router to reserve an address for it and made an entry 
in /etc/hosts.  Since I can't see any sign of it being recognised I haven't a 
clue how to mount it.  Any ideas?
