" I am fairly and how does a revision three's weekly Internet show us and there was some very I mean even -- you can things up around here based on your your feet and of the camel. Color. I know more web -- more -- movies music. Modern women talk now all the things that we left and sharing it with all of you currently. There project that Peter."

" As -- system has brought you right in music dec com. Netflix dot job and GoDaddy got job. Well in the system are better Norton joining us out of the box -- do we know is the control room out on the set under the hot lights in studio thirteen mister Roger -- series producer. For dwelling and system in Texas."

" Yeah it's interesting about studio thirteen is that we only had five studios. It's actually a little -- history. There it's a long story and don't want to get into it but suffice it to stay with the statue of these thirteen -- it's really odd. Anyway yes thank you for having me on the show. Actually wrote myself into the ocean we're supposed to do robots. Authority that fell through. About -- difficult in the reserves is the state university is currently in engineering. -- Why why. Outcome lines are excited visiting him in this Star Wars game he's it is -- to use it in case you're here to show us how to build a free this machine. Yes free and acts as -- when that -- it's three -- second enough makes the word -- network attached storage yes it's a network attached to it. Essentially at its most basic it's -- take a bunch of drives storage. And attach a network interface to it so you can then use it upon on a local area network or some cases larger area network win back -- maybe a central point counselor MP3 files anywhere you want yeah anything you do his torso say it's important documents office files or can you summer where people connect all everyone can access in the office -- accounting needs access to certain spreadsheets. But finance needs access to those -- spreadsheets everyone can then put into us Cingular location. That -- boxes you seem -- couple hard drives easily 50700 bucks is this an expensive project earth today. Great thing about this show is we're dedicated to be using it crap. So he's got a crappy laptop you gotta crack PC although not -- crappy -- or an utter crap PC service like. PC because -- board you have an opinion three. And you know you say hey I'd like to use this as."

" It just sitting around as a door stop -- having me trip over in the dark and turning it into something useful and why not a network attached storage. Beauty of this especially with Fiennes is that since it supports so many fort file systems supports and -- that's accused. NT -- emulation Apple follow protocol. You can -- FTP can share files with and Lennox network. So you know no matter what it is that you could probably use -- for that purpose now while -- says -- you can actually do a few web services off the application as well chief among these -- TB which is great. If you need to get access to files and not at home he want to set -- system you know a file server. FTP without having good theater Internet host -- this is a great way to do it in its its you know songs you have your machine on a UPS almost when he forced it."

" I'm gonna ask this and they were yanked this -- we're gonna go way way -- is now with the what you need like a dynamic -- in the -- actually view tab and that. Yet but if you buy routers from the pasts."

" Past several years they all support dynamic NSA and if you actually go that feature from your Internet host Saatchi pretty cheap way. To access your home machine without necessarily paying for static -- like. How to build it what are we start -- right so you have a machine. -- opinion thirty you know you get maybe 512 a gig of ram in it. First -- want to do is put. And you drive in it so -- you can use old hardware if you want as much storage is possible you know pick up a couple of innocent if it's of the old parallel ATA drive. In what get a 254 what 3040 bucks yet they're really cheap and you know through all the machines only came with fifteen. Geeks are not yet about fifty gigs it's a great -- about beef up under storage so you -- Yes second need to download and install the software you good free NASA dot org to download a very small ice -- disk image burn it onto CD. Pop it into the PC. And Bernadette is -- though because if you just created data disk it'll be nice that will not boot your system but he's here burning software choice security in doing. Bootable CB -- work. Yes it's actually -- because that if anybody's humid its is that something we hear every time we talked about. That is well if that you mention that he should also mention that you need to enable your CD-ROM as your boot. First -- election in your bias or it's gonna -- history and -- Once you come up to it's a very basically XE. Unix he -- Was this it's PST so I can't ceilings systems going to -- it's free it's BSD. So what you get that -- You essentially follow the menu options and you just want to do history install typically the best luck I've ever had is to actually install it. Through. Taking full OS installed onto the hard drive you have the option of doing like a partial install onto a flash or doing in with the Cullen embedded install. Which is essentially a lightweight version of it. It's supposed to go faster but I've never had any real good luck with it right -- what's the best look at had been the most robust system that every interest and NASA's with a full OS install. Cool so did that takes a few seconds. Now. When you do it's gonna basically partition not to drive automatically for you so it's gonna give about ninety need to least 96 megabytes of space to -- I put 250 because I have some weird fetish about 250. Don't ask them but it's just there. That's fifteen and then it takes the rest as data. And then when it's done all you need to do is reboot and then select your IP or actually initial as a card which make you want -- if not to mention he do you want to happen network interface card in your machine or it's not gonna work because you can't be connected to a network. And and it. These are fairly robust list of ethernet adapters will support wireless adapters -- I have tried using wireless and this is the thing they were actually the and variety of wireless though it did not work for me. I've had the best luck with those old 3COM PCI enix. Or even those older ice the next -- com they came out with -- you know pentium twos are just -- six of those. The thing is especially with open source software though all the the heart rhythm word support there's gonna be. And I Lois found that I had actually had these two 3COM PCI -- and hope for that explicit purpose because they're supported by everything under the sun it's like -- 10100 exhibits. Good to hear adapters. But basically -- it should be faster than wireless yes should be considerably more compatible it's it's more compatible it's more robust and generally it's more -- here. So I generally do that because I like it without having people snoop into other people can try it. I never had luck with it then again I've only used the and stuff so I can't releasing that older wireless will -- okay. Does he could see from the screen here. There's actually not too much to that server once it's running it just looks like a bunch of text on a machine it's obvious the server yes it was -- do not touch. It's sick leave it alone. Go over to another machine to be a Mac or PC area. -- machine anything that has. A web browser on it and is on the same network is on the same network -- always the same at the same network so you can access that machine's IP directly. Reason why is X the first thing you'd be typing into the address bar is of course the art I'd keep that machine. In this case it's 1921681. Wanted to assistance -- the subnet an outrage about truly thrilling pieces of information that's. On the screen and your box. Yes it is and it's very important so this is the configuration screen it's. It's very plain history yes sparse but it is very functional like that everything on the left has your functions your settings and your services. General system settings so anything that deals with the free nest box itself weathered so routes posts firmware. When -- want to -- is that report. A separate is if you need to essentially yes if one machine on your network needs to access one particular. Service you can actually about it vocal so it doesn't always change. Interfaces. Discs this is very important because as the first thing you need to do. And services so CFC guy FS slash SNB. That's if you want to do the whole I wanna network out and that share with NT FS or a windows NT. FTP standard as a safe secure shell and FS. The other important thing I've ever use I users AFP the Apple follow. Protocol so that's. If you're working with an OS-X environment like we do here -- Revision 3 and you want all those Macs to sheer -- files from that same location you'd probably use it."

" Is the -- and so is it raining what what what was what's it for many skating world tools that translate actually from the -- ethics. By default USS. And -- not a bad way to go I've actually never had issues with it some people might that computers -- networks. Though someone. On status access groups. All of these important things will get two and a minute first thing you need to actually mounted drives. Software is running but it doesn't know that it has to it does and has no storage attached to it. There's just there there there's no there there yet so firstly when it is going to discs click management. That actually set -- pretty. Now. It seems kind of weird because there's no thing like where to let edge rise. This little plus in the lower right corner -- click that. And then you select the drive this is much scarier looking it is it's -- and it's not like you're gonna -- anything after losing their data security white dress -- You know if you're starting out from scratch. And we mentioned you only use hard drive without. On a that you want this. -- goes without saying if you do you are -- hard drive make sure to load the data you have on it is moved on to something if it's something want to keep. Options for conclude transfer mode so I usually the -- on open if you know for a fact for some reason weird quirk of hardware that it. Defaults out of union -- in you can just force it TDMA and it are -- hundred when 333366. Hard to standby time essentially a sleep mode so you don't want to drive spinning up all the time. I leave it goes on because it's for system. Probably be turning -- and now anyway. I usually leave this off the advanced power management depending on the way your system is built or when it was built. In May or may not work -- Atlantis -- stable. The smart I don't know I've never had luck with smart and that's really never done all that much for me and even in windows and -- unchecked. And -- format it costs just and then this allows you to set the file system for pre from rated. That's -- three format it and -- just leave it alone but equally as you accessed since this is what. By default gets. Put -- this is a fresh drive which you have to format -- it gets formatted in the process when you install penis. Now once you're done you apply changes and if you need to Andy you just click on the units at that particular drive and then you can go into the edit window as you can see these are all the settings I'd just said. For this particular."

" Eric now what just happened disk mounted within the disk management community to set amount. It is very important is where else -- Gritty news that particular vision and drive for. -- added in -- Into the us. And -- set -- this there's only one disk in this era so like oh -- yeah. Partition -- and worked by default it -- PT will be selected when you install three nests. When you partition the drive and install applications on it will keep you. Little short order on which partitions it. Since I used a single drive on my -- only be used protection to -- problems. NASA's about the fault look at his select. You're not change it unless you explicitly changed the format of the partition it to something like that and you answer exit. -- should not doing anything else that you want to -- restrictions for example there's lead it'll be checked if you'll look does that mounted and read from. You don't want to write them. -- restrictions is also important to -- individuals or groups. From either writing or reading that particular. System. When you're done this critics say. And click apply changes after. This."

" So we've got -- we've got a hard drive the sign we didn't have to for automatic data form editor installation. Yeah to turn on some services becomes yes so well first of all you also want it. They had people. Because it since this is kind of networking -- into his side users or at least have users logged in now you considered guest accounts but you still want to set up people into it so what's -- users and groups. In this case I just add myself. Roger. Again same thing -- the plus and and you and we can add Patrick. It's. And Patrick. That's it will be password. Because it's so secure that way the user -- as you can see you're the second user of this system. Perry gets critical make you an ad min couldn't commitment -- green screen nobody -- screen state. And man now I want to assign additional groups do you say once you do you know FTP or whatever. I just control click on a PC or -- command click on Mac. The security admin I don't need to do the admit they can just and the rest of these. To view that I want you to view or have control over. Or conversely you could restrict. That is true home directory you do this if you want to limit that person or that account to a specific. Directory and all the sub folders within it. Like I don't want you to access -- I don't want to access to anything else that might -- assistance. You do that but since I trust geologist Cleveland. -- give -- show -- if you need to do any kind of show work to. Click -- and there you go."

" So -- next all right so we -- drives are randomly monitored storage we've assigned to our users or a guest log ins and all that. Connection want to add the services that we want to have running off this device I would like -- cheeseburger. Yes well of course it's not an option here. -- on a windows network I would go with the CI FS SNB and that's basically just allows people with windows machines to access this box over and over yes. At DP if bios in the open FTP server I would go with the FTV but open AFP -- going to be the machines there. It's a server of course is PST. Parents so headset when operating at a time Roger -- because that's so low unique."

" Enable checked. Enable guest accounts check. And then go to share so what's that's all done and save and we start. He chairs in this is again and you need to declare or at least a sign where you want that files you want that service to be shared for a just like held here. -- hell -- could alter health workers exodus is the one we -- them -- let's go to configuration had already made one but let's make anyone. Dual plus let's give -- name won't see Patrick share and it's basically similar views. Shear upper windows user or anything else essentially certain cases you want to be careful about character counts and said Patrick -- deceit and comment system. Patrick sheer. Do you actually have multiple drives and control who has access to which drive inside your previous box is based on race and of these shares. Exactly that's cool and we can click OK and -- we want something inside a particular folder. Passed a partition them into particular folder and say like only Apple folders can be used for the Apple share. So click okay. At that mount point sherpas are now this is if you need to have it basically locked off. From anyone else except the people with the permission use and you want to set a -- so -- it's and another security letter. Allowed denied me access very important do you want this -- to be over in read only. Financial documents that everyone needs look at it should not touch or is insulting -- is -- something where everyone needs to collaborate needs to work on it seems a project and people need to add new files new elements to it. And you would have -- grant access. This case I believe everything else alone and lets you see something that really stands out. We reminisce about file names this forces file -- to be restricted to the characteristic used by windows which can do really interesting things to move files around. So everything else would just click add. Nothing indie -- you can try checking him but.

" Remember our sponsors help us bring the show it to you and it's time that affect what about. Music dot com assistant has partnered with easy -- anti Clinton has some of my favorite song.

" Now I just went through a very basic you know quick process if you're setting something up more elaborate you gonna want to take your time so go ahead. Though you need to control its right. To configure your previous machine how to white launched into it from another machine on the network depending on the OS you have unique connected with -- whatever file. Network file service that you need to connect -- in this case since we're on the Mac we're going through the -- so she go into the -- let me go back real quick going to go and connect to server. The bottom him. And gives you a server address now typically when you see this is going to be blank. So all you want to do is put AFP Colin forced us forward slash and then the IP the same IP that they put in to pull of the -- They're good to set the mess up it's the same one I'm gonna connect to server because it's the same IP. And then it was essentially putting your password and your username. Already have this connected so on the cancer that and as you can see mrs. So all in all disappeared management couldn't. But it is concerned because it's free yes because try to can't remember what you wrote it as. As you can see we have hello Sharon paddy and he's created a separate folders. Because we created new shares for each. Of us. And blank gives us is available stores 99 point 38 gigabytes. Now the important thing to remember is if you have multiple folders -- have multiple shares on at this numbers in the start diminishing. And you may not know why it's like -- only have five. You know five gigabytes but already you know -- if it's gone it might be because someone else is using their share -- loading up on that basically don't pay too much attention to that. Yes so it's really important for whoever's administering. The free NASA kind of check out. What exactly is the son status of the the drives so we'll click on system Doris want to make sure this is kind of up and running where you can see it. And determine whether or not some -- like Joe you're putting too many -- you know MP threes or ripped movies that are god knows what if there is or system information page rules so you. Where all of the different. Shares have been created and what is go to the diagnostics and then it information. He come out with these wonderful tabs and you just click through to the appropriate one in this case space used. Does she see it only lists the point where the drive was -- are actually the partition was mounted. So since I put you in me on the same amount point it's gonna be one but it's we've actually partition this out. And the smart way you would be able to have a nice. A nice hefty list of who's taken -- different partitions for each user for each worker for -- work group and says -- episode because our community didn't -- users in you have a company if even twenty people it's alive through kind of manage its its actually makes more you can me -- makes more sense if you do -- by. Task or by file system. I don't do anything else say you want to encrypt. The that you would go back up to discs and -- whether -- raid or you need to reform and we need to just amount points it's all here but sing Christian. Encryption it's the same way. All follow the same interface to the plus and you -- about nothing about Dracula be careful is it needs to be encrypted before you use it.

Geeks are not yet about fifty gigs it's a great -- about beef up under storage so you -- Yes second need to download and install the software you good free NASA dot org to download a very small ice -- disk image burn it onto CD. Pop it into the PC. And Bernadette is -- though because if you just created data disk it'll be nice that will not boot your system but he's here burning software choice security in doing. Bootable CB -- work. Yes it's actually -- because that if anybody's humid its is that something we hear every time we talked about. That is well if that you mention that he should also mention that you need to enable your CD-ROM as your boot. First -- election in your bias or it's gonna -- history and -- Once you come up to it's a very basically XE. Unix he -- Was this it's PST so I can't ceilings systems going to -- it's free it's BSD. So what you get that -- You essentially follow the menu options and you just want to do history install typically the best luck I've ever had is to actually install it. Through. Taking full OS installed onto the hard drive you have the option of doing like a partial install onto a flash or doing in with the Cullen embedded install. Which is essentially a lightweight version of it. It's supposed to go faster but I've never had any real good luck with it right -- what's the best look at had been the most robust system that every interest and NASA's with a full OS install. Cool so did that takes a few seconds. Now. When you do it's gonna basically partition not to drive automatically for you so it's gonna give about ninety need to least 96 megabytes of space to -- I put 250 because I have some weird fetish about 250. Don't ask them but it's just there. That's fifteen and then it takes the rest as data. And then when it's done all you need to do is reboot and then select your IP or actually initial as a card which make you want -- if not to mention he do you want to happen network interface card in your machine or it's not gonna work because you can't be connected to a network. And and it. These are fairly robust list of ethernet adapters will support wireless adapters -- I have tried using wireless and this is the thing they were actually the and variety of wireless though it did not work for me. I've had the best luck with those old 3COM PCI enix. Or even those older ice the next -- com they came out with -- you know pentium twos are just -- six of those. The thing is especially with open source software though all the the heart rhythm word support there's gonna be. And I Lois found that I had actually had these two 3COM PCI -- and hope for that explicit purpose because they're supported by everything under the sun it's like -- 10100 exhibits. Good to hear adapters. But basically -- it should be faster than wireless yes should be considerably more compatible it's it's more compatible it's more robust and generally it's more -- here. So I generally do that because I like it without having people snoop into other people can try it. I never had luck with it then again I've only used the and stuff so I can't releasing that older wireless will -- okay. Does he could see from the screen here. There's actually not too much to that server once it's running it just looks like a bunch of text on a machine it's obvious the server yes it was -- do not touch. It's sick leave it alone. Go over to another machine to be a Mac or PC area. -- machine anything that has. A web browser on it and is on the same network is on the same network -- always the same at the same network so you can access that machine's IP directly. Reason why is X the first thing you'd be typing into the address bar is of course the art I'd keep that machine. In this case it's 1921681. Wanted to assistance -- the subnet an outrage about truly thrilling pieces of information that's. On the screen and your box. Yes it is and it's very important so this is the configuration screen it's. It's very plain history yes sparse but it is very functional like that everything on the left has your functions your settings and your services. General system settings so anything that deals with the free nest box itself weathered so routes posts firmware. When -- want to -- is that report. A separate is if you need to essentially yes if one machine on your network needs to access one particular. Service you can actually about it vocal so it doesn't always change. Interfaces. Discs this is very important because as the first thing you need to do. And services so CFC guy FS slash SNB. That's if you want to do the whole I wanna network out and that share with NT FS or a windows NT. FTP standard as a safe secure shell and FS. The other important thing I've ever use I users AFP the Apple follow. Protocol so that's. If you're working with an OS-X environment like we do here -- Revision 3 and you want all those Macs to sheer -- files from that same location you'd probably use it."

" Is the -- and so is it raining what what what was what's it for many skating world tools that translate actually from the -- ethics. By default USS. And -- not a bad way to go I've actually never had issues with it some people might that computers -- networks. Though someone. On status access groups. All of these important things will get two and a minute first thing you need to actually mounted drives. Software is running but it doesn't know that it has to it does and has no storage attached to it. There's just there there there's no there there yet so firstly when it is going to discs click management. That actually set -- pretty. Now. It seems kind of weird because there's no thing like where to let edge rise. This little plus in the lower right corner -- click that. And then you select the drive this is much scarier looking it is it's -- and it's not like you're gonna -- anything after losing their data security white dress -- You know if you're starting out from scratch. And we mentioned you only use hard drive without. On a that you want this. -- goes without saying if you do you are -- hard drive make sure to load the data you have on it is moved on to something if it's something want to keep.

Defaults out of union -- in you can just force it TDMA and it are -- hundred when 333366. Hard to standby time essentially a sleep mode so you don't want to drive spinning up all the time. I leave it goes on because it's for system. Probably be turning -- and now anyway. I usually leave this off the advanced power management depending on the way your system is built or when it was built. In May or may not work -- Atlantis -- stable. The smart I don't know I've never had luck with smart and that's really never done all that much for me and even in windows and -- unchecked. And -- format it costs just and then this allows you to set the file system for pre from rated. That's -- three format it and -- just leave it alone but equally as you accessed since this is what. By default gets. Put -- this is a fresh drive which you have to format -- it gets formatted in the process when you install penis. Now once you're done you apply changes and if you need to Andy you just click on the units at that particular drive and then you can go into the edit window as you can see these are all the settings I'd just said. For this particular."

" Eric now what just happened disk mounted within the disk management community to set amount. It is very important is where else -- Gritty news that particular vision and drive for. -- added in -- Into the us. And -- set -- this there's only one disk in this era so like oh -- yeah. Partition -- and worked by default it -- PT will be selected when you install three nests. When you partition the drive and install applications on it will keep you. Little short order on which partitions it. Since I used a single drive on my -- only be used protection to -- problems. NASA's about the fault look at his select. You're not change it unless you explicitly changed the format of the partition it to something like that and you answer exit. -- should not doing anything else that you want to -- restrictions for example there's lead it'll be checked if you'll look does that mounted and read from.

" So we've got -- we've got a hard drive the sign we didn't have to for automatic data form editor installation. Yeah to turn on some services becomes yes so well first of all you also want it. They had people. Because it since this is kind of networking -- into his side users or at least have users logged in now you considered guest accounts but you still want to set up people into it so what's -- users and groups. In this case I just add myself. Roger. Again same thing -- the plus and and you and we can add Patrick. It's. And Patrick. That's it will be password. Because it's so secure that way the user -- as you can see you're the second user of this system. Perry gets critical make you an ad min couldn't commitment -- green screen nobody -- screen state. And man now I want to assign additional groups do you say once you do you know FTP or whatever. I just control click on a PC or -- command click on Mac. The security admin I don't need to do the admit they can just and the rest of these. To view that I want you to view or have control over. Or conversely you could restrict. That is true home directory you do this if you want to limit that person or that account to a specific. Directory and all the sub folders within it.

You do that but since I trust geologist Cleveland. -- give -- show -- if you need to do any kind of show work to. Click -- and there you go."

" So -- next all right so we -- drives are randomly monitored storage we've assigned to our users or a guest log ins and all that. Connection want to add the services that we want to have running off this device I would like -- cheeseburger. Yes well of course it's not an option here. -- on a windows network I would go with the CI FS SNB and that's basically just allows people with windows machines to access this box over and over yes. At DP if bios in the open FTP server I would go with the FTV but open AFP -- going to be the machines there. It's a server of course is PST.

Do you actually have multiple drives and control who has access to which drive inside your previous box is based on race and of these shares. Exactly that's cool and we can click OK and -- we want something inside a particular folder. Passed a partition them into particular folder and say like only Apple folders can be used for the Apple share. So click okay. At that mount point sherpas are now this is if you need to have it basically locked off.

Network file service that you need to connect -- in this case since we're on the Mac we're going through the -- so she go into the -- let me go back real quick going to go and connect to server. The bottom him. And gives you a server address now typically when you see this is going to be blank. So all you want to do is put AFP Colin forced us forward slash and then the IP the same IP that they put in to pull of the -- They're good to set the mess up it's the same one I'm gonna connect to server because it's the same IP.

Because we created new shares for each. Of us. And blank gives us is available stores 99 point 38 gigabytes. Now the important thing to remember is if you have multiple folders -- have multiple shares on at this numbers in the start diminishing. And you may not know why it's like -- only have five. You know five gigabytes but already you know -- if it's gone it might be because someone else is using their share -- loading up on that basically don't pay too much attention to that.

He come out with these wonderful tabs and you just click through to the appropriate one in this case space used. Does she see it only lists the point where the drive was -- are actually the partition was mounted. So since I put you in me on the same amount point it's gonna be one but it's we've actually partition this out. And the smart way you would be able to have a nice. A nice hefty list of who's taken -- different partitions for each user for each worker for -- work group and says -- episode because our community didn't -- users in you have a company if even twenty people it's alive through kind of manage its its actually makes more you can me -- makes more sense if you do -- by.
