[Equip] How do I access the USB on a TG852?I plugged my MP3 player into the USB of my TG852.
How can I access on a WIndows 7 machine. Under network drives, the TG852 is listed but clicking it gives a disconnecting error. |

It must physically work, just no software to drive it.
I make that assumption because, when I plugged my MP3 player into the router, the MP3 player started recharging its batter and the TG852 router showed up as a network drive in Windows 7. After I disconnected the MP3 player, the router no longer showed up as a network drive. |

while the USB port is indeed supplying power, comcast is evidently disabling its use as a network drive |

That is correct. There is no firmware support for the USB port on our gateways. |

Comcast may not support it but im guessing you can use the drivers from Arris. I doubt you can get much more than a computer to work thru it tho. » moto.arrisi.com/support/ ··· ndex.asp |

it doesnt say, but i think those drivers are so you can connect to the internet via USB, i don't think they apply to accessing a connected storage device over the LAN |

I don't think the Comcast system will allow you to load those to a leased unit. |
