Re: Linksys NAS200 Network Storage adapter

Thanks smlunatick for your input!

I really don't have any problems, other than deciding whether or not to buy
the Linksys NAS200 Network Storage Adapter.
Don't mind using the IP address (192.168.2.21) for the few people I'll
provide passwords for. But I don't know if I'm using static IP or not.
My internet access is with Embarq (Sprint) DSL so I have a DSL broadband
router, then a linksys wireless broadband router, then my PC running
WinXP-Home.

I always thought DSL used static IP, but maybe I'm wrong, I don't know alot
about networking...

Thanks again!

I'm using WinXP-Home with a Linksys WRT54G v5 Wireless DSL Broadband
Router.

The storage adapter holds (2) SATA drives, I understand other remote PC's
can access this
via web browser or ftp using passwords. Supposedly, other users can
upload and/or download
files to and from the storage adapter based on permissions I set up for
them.

Is there anything else $$ needed to accomplish this?
Is the TZO DNS Dynamic DNS service required to do basic file shares
between remote PC's?
The TZO software is embedded in the NAS200. Is this really needed?

Thanks for any advice!

TZO and DynDNS "service" provides a method of finding your "device"
based on a name (ie: "mydevice.tzo.org") instead of IP address
(192.168.2.21) across the Interent. You need this type of service if
you are not using a static IP address Internet service. If you are
not "enabling" this device to be "seen" on the Internet, then you do
not need this.

What exactly is your difficulties with this device.
