Hello all. I just connected a USB Hard drive to my Airport Extreme base station. Three of my four household computers are able to see the device and share files with the device. My MacBook Air is not able to locate the drive. Anyone have any thoughts about why this one machine is the odd duck?

All other machines are connected to the same wireless network that the MBA accesses.

Can you run Airport Utility on the MBA? Is the drive listed in the settings for the router?

Do you mean that you don't see the disk in the sidebar of your Finder windows?
