If you can ping the box then it's great. Try telnet to the box (Windows putty has telnet, too) The user name is root, no password necessary. After that type the command 

mount

This will list all the disks/volumes that were detected by the FAT+.

then attach your USB drive to the front port, check the mounting again with "mount" command to see if the output changed, and if there is any thing like (sdxx is the drive letter):

/tmp/usbmounts/sda1

Then you'll know the USB drive was recognized by the FAT+ .

Paste the output from both here, if you're not sure.

Your router may have given the FAT+ a new IP address.  Verify this with your router - I can't remember if the FAT+ menu will tell you its current IP or not.

Yes, the FAT+ shows the current IP on the menu. Good point, prairiedog! I'm sure after the Cold flash, the FAT+ will set the IP to dynamic IP, too.
