Greetings everyone

I agree with viRXes on the sheer length and age of this topic. I've tried many, many steps in this thread to get my 1100 working and I'm about 50% there.

First issue: The main problem I keep running into is that I have to run through the 4x factory reset deal every time I turn the thing on. Shortly after the OS loads I can get to it from a browser. However, it eventually locks up and loses all connectivity. If I want to continue working on it, I have to perform the reset steps again. The original drive was a Maxtor MaxLine 250GB drive (ATA-133). Seeing a good number of posts mentioning the SnapServers didn't play well with ATA-133 drives I swapped it with an ATA-100 DeathStar. Same deal. I've upgraded the OS from 3.4.805 to 4.0.850 and no change. The status lights indicate the system is functioning normally, but no ping.

Second issue: If I pull the power and plug it back in (without the reset steps), the SnapServer comes back online and prompts me for a username and password for "access". Nothing works; not even the defaults outlined on Adaptec's website. All in all I've spent about 72 total hours on this thing and I would hate to give up and pitch it.
