Wow thank you Frito, i am going to print this off and add it to the info i printed off from my own desperate cry for help thread at:

I too have a Snap18000 with a SD30 array for creating a file server/data saver, that i managed to get second hand off of Ebay.
I had terrible trouble even gaining access to the Snap server until this week when i created a "Cluster" domain on my windows 2003 server and added the Snaps IP, this alone took me a year to discover so i applaud your thread for trying to help others out with there Snap18000's!
Lol, not everyone is a computer genius or works in IT, i have myself have no training or skills in IT. I only wanted a server/data store data for my 3D hobby, lol, and was sick and tired of always loosing data on my desktop pc, i wanted a raid storage device that would be big enough to last a long time, unlike expensive desktop two drive only NAS boxes, lol i wouldnt have enough money or usb ports!!!
Heres my discovery info so far about using a Snap18000:
Gaining access - The Snap18000 can not be accessed directly, it can only be accessed through a web browser from a different machine.Add the Snap to a "Cluster" Domain in order to even gain access to configure the RAID and Volumes.Just add the IP displayed on the front panel to the list of servers on the "Cluster" Domain of your main server.Then type the IP address into the web browser on your main server this should result in the "Home" page being accessible & visible there you can set up the RAID and other settings.
The above is long winded, ( i am not a good writer ), if you want to just add what you think is important info to your original top post if you think it could help others....
