I found some of the instructions on this site that might be my answer...Ill come back if Im still stuck. Thanks. LIP

I want to connect my netgear 3700 router to an existing d-link 655. The dlink is connected to the dsl modem directly (wired) by the wan port on the dlink and I am connecting the netgear wan port to a regular port on the d-link 655. Basically I want the netgear to function for wireless G and...

Just an update... I've managed to get everything sorted for the most part with Amahi. I'm actually really pleased with it now. The support from the forums has been great: http://forums.amahi.org/ They also have a great irc channel where the developers hang out...

Hi, Just a quick update... Installed it today. Basically you have to install Fedora first and then install Amahi. I've had a lot of problems with it already. The server GUI runs as an application in Fedora so you can have the desktop working alongside the Amahi server. It automates shares...

Hi, To be honest, same here... I've been tinkering with freenas but since my built in gigbit chipset on my mobo has no driver in the stable release of freenas, I've had to use the nightly builds and my speed is terrible...I might come back to it later. I was looking at ubuntu server and came...

Hi, Has anyone tried Amahi? I'm just trying out freenas and have had a bunch of problems. I'm also finding it very slow although this might be because of my network. Any chance of a review on this site? LIP

Thanks guys. I have a lot to learn but it should be fun! I will have to look into where you get the packages from. LIP

Hi, Just wondering what would be the negatives of running Ubuntu desktop as a NAS/server instead of Ubuntu server? Any problems setting up RAID or anything like this? I would imagine everything should be easier? LIP

Hi, I pulled the trigger on the above except that the memory was the wrong type and I also went with WD green drives. I'm going to try my hand with freenas (new beta version as the 0.69 doesn't support the integrated NIC on the giga motherboard). LIP

Hi, I'm building a new NAS (new components...I give away my old computers usually) and ended up ordering this: Antec Mini P180 mATX Black Aluminum Case I haven't received it yet (waiting for a pricematch from the vendor) but it seems like a good choice. Was going to go with the Chenbro...

Hi, The below is what I will go with I think with freenas. What do you think? Thanks, LIP Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 AMD740G mATX AM2+/AM3 1PCI-EX 2PCI SATA2 RAID VGA Sound GLAN DVI Motherboard http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=30471 AMD Processor 4850e...

Hi, Where did you get that price...the link seems higher: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=CA-34069 i guess that's USD as well. LIP

Hi, Would this be a good MB (AMD though): http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=30471 LIP

Hi guys, Looking for some recommendations for components to build by own NAS. I'm a total newbie with this but have built pc's before. My issue is that the pre-built units seem to be priced extremely high for the performance you get. I plan on having eventually 4 1TB drives. I would also like...
