3.4. Accessing Shares via USB

The Network Space 2 can be connected to your network via Ether-

net or directly to a computer via USB. This chapter explains how to

connect your hard drive to a computer. For details on connecting

to your network, refer to chapter 2. Connecting to a Home Network.

IMPORTANT INFO: You must successfully connect to the network

and run the Setup Wizard before connecting the Network Space 2 to

your computer via USB. Follow the steps in chapter 2. Connecting

to a Home Network before continuing. Additionally, you will need

to increase the storage allocated for USB access by adjusting the

USBShare size slider (which is set to 0GB by default) (refer to 2.4.

STEP 4: Completing the Setup Wizard).

TECHNICAL NOTE: If your network is limited to 10/100 Mbit

transfer speeds, the USB connection will generally permit faster

transfer times. In this case, LaCie suggests that as a ﬁrst step you

copy large quantities of ﬁles to the Network Space 2 via USB, then

as a second step, share them throughout your network via the Eth-

ernet connection.

TECHNICAL NOTE: LaCie discourages connecting the Network

Space 2 to your network (Ethernet cable) and to your computer (USB

cable) at the same time. The reason is that if both connections are

active at the same time, USBShare will appear on your computer

(in My Computer for Windows or Desktop for Mac) but will not be

available on the network (the volume is visible but inaccessible). If

you then disconnect the USB connection, USBShare will become ac-

cessible on the network.

TECHNICAL NOTE: If the product is connected both to the net-

work and to a computer via USB, OpenShare and MyShare will be

accessible via the network and USBShare via USB.

Follow these steps to getting your LaCie Network Space 2 connected

to your computer:

3.4.1. STEP 1: Connecting the USB cable

3.4.2. STEP 2: Turn On the Drive
