Hi All,
I'm not sure if the topic properly describes my requirement so:
I have just bought a Technomate TMS 500.
I have loads of Mpegs. AVIs DivX etc. movies on an Iomega 1Tb Network drive
I also have a couple of other network drives including a 500 Gb Iomega, a 500 Gb Targa NDAS (great piece of kit!) and a MyBook (imho a crap piece of kit)
I would like to be able to stream video from any one (or more!) of these drives to the TMS 500 in the living room. The house has a wired (Cat5e) and wireless network. At the moment, the TMS is being used on the wired network and is working fine. I'm not sure about the wired network supporting GigaBit ethernet (a topic for another day / thread / forum perhaps). I'm using a Linksys switch and I think that's designed for 100Meg - question answered I suppose!
However, for the moment, I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I can use existing resources to achieve my objectives. I don't mind spend a few quid, but in the present climate, I'd obviously prefer an inexpensive or free solution.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
eamon.
