Synology NAS with OS X Lion

Here ran across this, hope it helps for keeping a server mounted automatically for you wschomburg: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100403050702737

Alsthough at this point I seem to be having an issue with the way Lion and Synology don't play nice with each other automagically. I only upgraded to Lion this week and since the upgrade Lion will not see my NAS through the side bar nor through "Network" I have to manually connect to it via Shift + K afp//:xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx. Before I upgraded to Lion my Synology NAS worked just about flawless besides some other issues where it wouldn't bootor respond to anyhting...

@TJ2001 Thanks for the helpful tip of connecting manually. I too just updated Lion and ran into issues with my Synology DS212j not connecting automatically. Still searching for a solution. If you fin one, let us know!

Thanks!

I have newly purchased and installed a DS212j, which worked fine at first (actuallt on Aiport Extreme it was too slow, so I hooked it up to gigabit ethernet and set it up for Time Mahcine backup.

It seems to be working perfectly, keeping the volume mounted on the desktop apart from when actually backing up, at which time the Time Machien disk icon mounts separatelt and then unmounts afterwards automatically.

The problem is, all of a sudden, Synology Assistant cannot find it at all!

As long as it works for Time machine that is not a problem per se, but it would be nice to be able to use the same Time Machine for both machines (laptop and desktop).

I know it is theoretically possible (at least it was under Snow) but how?

Especailly if I cannot access and configure the Synology? Is DHCP on the ethernet the culprit?

Any ideas>

Thanks

Any experience with TimeMachine based backups on Lacie's 2BIG NAS? Can Apples's TimeCapsule do video and other media data streaming that Lacie and the others' claim they can do?
