For a long time I've had no problems using Avalanche and RealVNC over
a cable network between an Iyo and a Windows XP machine. I now have
another Win XP machine which is connected wirelessly, and I can't for
the life of me make it connect to the Iyo, even though the entries in
the RealVNC config windows seem to be the same, and the hotlist items
in Avalanche seem correct.

I'm beginning to wonder whether it won't work at all over the wireless
part of the network; is this likely to be so?

TIA,

With best wishes,

Peter.

Hi

Can you help me please. I am in one heck of a state re my net working
of my Iyonix and Dell lap top. I know that I made an error in the
properties of the screen on the PC. I right clicked and went to
properties > settings and then made a bad choice. I dont know what I
did. But my network MYHopper can't pick up the PC screen as usual.

ks between the Iyonix (5.13) and the PC (XP) via the router.

Following the NAS thread, I got thinking.

Last night (sat) on QVC there was an 'Archos+' 25Gb hard disc recorder
at £208 + p&p.

This item is sold as a media store for photos, tv recordings etc.

It is claimed to have WiFi, and a Net skt.

I wondered if anyone has got one of these, and could it be used
as a central back-up store on a computer network.

Unfortunately I am not prepared to risk £200 odd just to test it :((

I have a NAS question specefically for Mr Druck. (And by some miracle it's
not pejorative ;-)))

Mr D.
Is there any way, by adjusting the configuration, or some command, or some
cache reconfiguring, whereby a bit more networking speed can be squeezed
out of this SARPC?
Last night I transferred 1.5 Gigs of stuff from this machine to the NAS
drive and it took almost as long to move that 1.5 Gigs as it did the other
day to move 30 Gig from the XP machine to the NAS.

Well isn't this interesting (not)

I've just collected together some material on the Vista laptop to shove
over the network to the NAS HD.

The NAS HD has just over 393 Gig free, and I'm trying to shift 19.3 Gigs
from the Laptop to the NAS drive and it won't do it, saying:

"There is not enough space on disknnn."(It is the NAS drive)
"19.4 GB is needed to copy this item, Delete or move files so you have
enough space."

So the NAS drive has 393 Gigs free, and the Laptop itself has, 61 Gigs
free.

Doh!

Any thoughts chaps as it defeats me.

Cheers
Dave S

PS: Yesterday transferred 30 Gigs of stuff from the XP machine to the NAS
drive, so my guess... It's gotta be another bit of Vista Sh*t.

Morning one and all.
After some notes on the Select mailing list about Network Attached Storage
(Thanks D Higton) I'm still interested in attaching to my LAN, but as two
of the four computers on the network are RISC OS I have unanswered
thoughts.

So I'm wondering if some of the 'Xperts' around here might be able to
enlighten me a bit?

The Router/Networking switch side is okay in my minds eye, my areas of
concern are about the NAS hardrive(s) and the software running them.

DH. informs that using LM98 there shouldn't be any difficulties using the
NAS from RO., does that apply to any size drive, say 500 GBytes or even a
1 TB NAS Device?

I already have a 500 GB USB Hardrive I attach to one of the Win PCs for
backup purposes, could that be put into a NAS enclosure/case and used?

Or would it be better to get a Complete NAS device with enclosure and
Hardrive(s)?

I've just discovered these exist, and are available in various types -
standalone or working with Windows PC or Mac.

I see that standalone ones can access/play files on these machines and on
other HD network devices.

Would it be possible to access MP3 files stored on a RISC OS machine - this
Iyonix, for example - or would I be better going for the USB memory stick
option to play selected music files via the 'radio' device?

Does anyone have one working they could advise on?

Having just installed Virtual RPC on OS X I tried setting up
filesharing between that and the RiscPC. Yesterday it was working
fine, unlike FTP which either just transferred the directory structure
and no files or transferred the files but without setting the correct
file types.

On starting up again this morning I can't get filesharing to work at
all. The configuration looks OK at both ends. Other communication
between the two works, including ftp and http. I don't think I've
changed the Mac configuration at all. What else could have gone wrong?

Both machines are showing their own shared directories, but not each
other's. Incidentally although the public directory on VRPC was still
shared when I restarted it, the shared directories on the RiscPC were
unshared. How do I save the shared status?

Both machines are running RISC OS 6.10.
