Not to double post, but I don't think I posted properly in the other section - and nobody seemed to have an answer. I work with some editors as their IT guy. Basically they are currently shuffling external drives to one another editing projects on Final cut 7. I'd like to simplify the process...

Hey. I work with some editors as their IT guy. Basically they are currently shuffling external drives to one another editing projects on Final cut 7. I'd like to simplify the process by getting them onto a SAN-like system where they can store the master footage, and essentially edit off the...

I run an Enemy Territory game server @ home. Its on a 50 down and 8 up connection. The connection seems to be fine for the most part for most players, however people on the other end of the country (Oregon, & Cali) have much larger pings and experience lag. These same players play on a...

Hi - I've recently installed a new WRT610N router onto my small business network. Previously my network was as follows: Modem - Server - LAN where the server acts as a gateway using routing and remote access. The addition to the setup now has the router between the modem and the server...

As we all know.....Microsoft has decided to pull DE - Drive Extender from its next release of Windows Home Server code named "VAIL". To me and a lot of other users DE was the core of the product and without it, makes it seemingly useless as there are plenty of alternatives most of which are...

My WHS run on hyper-v seems to be having connectivity issues. When streaming movies or tv shows sometimes it hiccups and the stream stutters alittle or it just flat out dies. Also when moving files approx 1 gig and up it gets about 50% or more complete, then I get an error: There is a...

I've got a semi-new WHS machine running on hyper-v. For whatever reason, I need to reinstall the server without loosing data from the shared folders. When I begin the reinstall - it shows me the list of hard drives - however not ALL the drives are listed just the system disk(virtual) and its...

I've got an older 80 gig drive running as my boot drive on a server 2008 R2 machine running hyper-v with WHS. I recently upgraded motherboards and now I have more than enough sata ports available and I would like to migrate the system drive over to another (Sata) drive of the same size (its an...

Hi. I posted the other night regarding issues opening ports on my home network and forwarding. So far i've fixed the forwarding to other machines, however simply opening ports directly onto the server itself does not seem to be working. If I forward the port to another machine however, theres...

I've run several servers over the years, most recently server 2008. The other weekend I decided to change hardware to a better, faster machine. I rebuilt the domain from scratch (only a couple machines in the network anyway) and basically kept everything simple. This server, and all its...

I've just installed Server 08 with hyper V. This server is a domain controller/dns server/gate way to the internet (Two nics) and all the machines on my network specify the DNS server 192.168.X.X. I've now got WHS as a guest operating system, and i'm trying to connect that machine to the...

I have an older WHS that I soon will be upgrading to new hardware once WHS V2 is finally released stable. I plan on installing Server 2008 with Hyper-V and doing a VM for WHS. My question has to do with disaster recovery. Lets say I have a 200 gig system drive along with several 2tb drives...

Older Dell 8200 will not power on. When plugged in the power light blinks amber, and it will not respond to the power switch. If I swap out the cpu for an extra celeron I have lying around the fans power up however nothing displays on the screen. I can't tell if the CPU's are the problem (bad...

I've set up a small freenas server to work as an offsite machine to my WHS. I've only thrown in a 1.5 terabyte drive and an extra 500 gig drive into it. I've pooled the two hard drives however, the only space I'm getting is about 498 gigs of usable storage out of a theoretical 2tb. Am I missing...

I've got a relatively small WHS system running (only 6tb) at home. It basically holds movies, tv shows, pictures, music, and client computer backups. Since i'm basically broke I'd like to do an off-site backup solution without paying a monthly fee. I've come across an older dell dimension, P4...
