| 1215557 | 2011-07-08 08:40:00 | Thats what the rear USB port is for - printer sharing over the LAN (page 10 of the manual) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1215558 | 2011-07-08 09:22:00 | Yeah, but bear in mind that some specialist printers won't work with it, but most standard inkjet/laers/MFCs should. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1215559 | 2011-07-09 21:18:00 | Building your own NAS could be an idea, esp if you have a spare machine ( or bits) laying about. Been playing about with Amahi Home Server (http://www.amahi.org/) - works really nice - idiot proof ( almost) to setup :D and according to the site it compatible with: I've downloaded the express Amahi CD earlier in the week too! Planned on giving it a whirl this weekend but I got sidetracked, so think I'll do it Monday night instead :D |

| 1215560 | 2011-07-09 23:45:00 | One thing I found ( and it could just be the drives) When I tried to install it on IDE drives it wouldn't boot afterward - when I installed on a SATA drive no problems. When I installed it, there is No GUI interface once its installed, you have to make all changes from a LAN connection Via web browser (like any other NAS device) :) Edited: I was gonna post some screen shots BUT -- Dont do what I have just done (Face Palm):lol: I've completely forgotten the bloody user name I used to log in - Password I remember -- Durhhhhhhhh |

| 1215562 | 2011-07-10 22:31:00 | The cheap NAS devices used to be REALLY REALLY slow over networks on read/write Have the new cheap NAS's got descent speed now ?? |

| 1215563 | 2011-07-11 01:03:00 | Pretty much every single desktop / laptop HDD out there these days has sustained sequential read / write speeds of over 100mbps. Most low-end consumer NAS drives are just a 3.5" Desktop HDD in a caddy. If your network is only 10/100 or Wifi, then the HDD won't be the bottleneck. If you're after something faster, then you'll potentially want to look into something that also does RAID, and I'd suggest it's worth DIY rather than buying something like the BlackAmor range. |

All going again, just a couple of themes attached ( lots apps to select etc) -- one in particular - just a little to bright :eek: :waughh: total Cost $0.00 Old PC laying about, free software -- cant get much better than that. |
