Setting up network with two Routers?

That's pretty much exactly what I want to do = ) Do you know of any references / guides on how to actually set that up? Do I set up the Airport Extreme to be a client IP on the DLink router somehow, and then just set up a separate network behind the Airport with the Airport as the gateway...

Storage Scheme Suggestions

Hi Chris! Thanks for getting back to me! I have thought long and hard about this (months) and I am willing to accept the possibility of fire/flood/theft. I really only want to prevent data loss in the event of drive failure. That's it! I do not want to use an on-line backup service (ie...

Setting up network with two Routers?

Hi there. A friend of mine gave me an Apple Airport Extreme base station... it says on the box it supports B and G, but there is no mention of N, so I think it is the older model. I am in a big house, and the router we have to share the cable internet wirelessly is a DLink DIR-655 ( should...

Storage Scheme Suggestions

Hi there. I'm looking for suggestions on two data storage scenarios to get redundant data storage for both myself, and for possible clients on a short-term basis. I have several personal systems, and would also like to have the option of putting client data on another drive if I do computer...

RAID 1

WOW! sh!t!! so how does the average, lowly home user trying to use mirroring for decent backup purposes handle this? periodically remove the drives to test each drive individually to make sure it's still working? Ouch. And that doesn't even help if, for instance, you do it on a quarterly or...

RAID 1

newbie question here: how do you know when one of the drives fails? is there some sort of indicator? does it prompt you during reboot process or something? or do you just kind of have to "know" one of them failed so you can replace it? my fear would be never noticing one drive had...

Advice- All These Computers!! Strategy on Using

EDIT: I just realized many of the new HD's may run better under new mobo technology (eSATA...)? Should I just bite the bullet and get new technology for my "media and backup server" for the performance boost and non-legacy HD hardware? ------------ Hi guys! Thanks for your comments = )...

Sad when your laptop is more powerful

I am in almost the exact same situation, and built at the same time - but I went with an Athlon 64 solution. Before you buy a new video card, I found out we can flash the 9800 Pro with firmware to pretty much let it run as the next generation of ATI card (the "XT"). I don't have the original...

PQI 512MB Intelligent USB Stick, $42.99 - $25 rebate = $17.99

Be careful if ordering from Surplus Computers to get the USB 2.0 (black, not purple) version for the rebate. I think the rebate only applies to the USB 2.0 model.
