Close but no cigar.

I have discovered that the router does not like to use a USB connection for large drives. It keeps timing out. Fortunately, both the drive and the router support sata so I switched over to that.

I am currently at a point where the router says, "Hey! There is a 3TB drive hoked up to me but no one can access it because you screwed up the security!'

So next step is to reformat the drive with correct configuration & settings and it should work fine. Once I see the drive and can map it on my mac, I can make the mac believe it's a TimeMachine drive and it should work.

The operative word in that last sentence is "should".
