Sharing a External Drive

[Dan]

Hi all,

I have a Seagate External Drive connected to a Desktop via USB, simple
file sharing is turned on. I want to share this drive with two
laptops, however I can't access it over the network.
Can someone point me in the right direction.
TIA!

Dan

The manufacturer of your router probably has technical support and/or a
user forum.
