So an update:
I pretty much ignored my router for the last several months because I spent so much time trying to figure out this problem I just quit.
I tried it again today, after downloading the most current firmware, and STILL happening. Also, none of my folders have any special characters.
I did try this: I deleted all of the folders I created (and this took me 45 minutes because 90% of the time I just got a blank screen after hitting delete, the other 10% of the time it worked..I only had two folders) I then "safely removed drive". With this does I could browes the readyshare settings no problem (of course with out the drive showing). I disconnected and reconnected the drive to try and see if it would work and of course first time I try and open up either Basic or Advanced settings...blank, nothng, no settings to change.
I would really like to use my passport as a NAS but I guess it is just not meant to be.
