Setting up USB Share

I recently bought the Gargoyle Gigabit Router from the router shop, it is a TP-Link WR1043ND v1.10. I'm trying to configure a USB drive as a NAS storage device with the USB port on the router. I plug in the USB drive and try to share it using the System/USB Storage menu items.

I'm on a Mac, and it tells me the NFS path is 192.168.0.1:/nfs/sda1

But when I open Finder and click "go to sever" it tells me "there was a problem" connecting to that address and to try again.

What should I be doing in order to find this USB drive as a shared storage device?

Thanks

There's tons of pages out there (search: mount nfs mac os x) on how to do this. Google gave up Apple own KB on it:

If that doesn't work, I'm sure something from MacOSXHints will have a FAQ for you. Personally, I refer to NixCraft frequently. It has a couple of articles regarding NFS on Mac OS X.
