Setup NAS Directly attached to Mac

Post by faylcon »

Hi, I have a TS-231P that is connected directly to my Mac mini via Ethernet. I set up internet sharing with the ethernet port, and the NAS seems to see the internet, but it cannot be seen by other machines on the network. The exception is the Mac mini which it is attached to, it shows up in both Qfinder and can be logged into. Is there anyway to get it to show on the network like it would as if it were attached to the router?

No idea about apple stuff, but if you setup internet sharing, then your introduce a NAT layer, that will not work

Just buy a switch for 5 bucks
