Below are the port scan results:

Starting nmap 3.93 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2008-04-28 18:17 UTC
Interesting ports on 192.168.2.17:
(The 65532 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT     STATE SERVICE
80/tcp   open  http
139/tcp  open  netbios-ssn
445/tcp  open  microsoft-ds
4301/tcp open  unknown
MAC Address: 00:10:75:00:FD:91 (Maxtor)

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 15.124 seconds

The device does have two USB ports in addition to the ethernet port.

FWIW, new firmware can be downloaded into the device via the browser 
interface, so perhaps there is some way to use port 80 to see the 
filesystem?
