Need Help With Wireless Storage Networking

[Padilla]

Hello everyone, Im trying to hook this whole setup, up for a friend. And this is what we have

Sonos Music Player

He has a 160GB NAS Box He wants to use to hold his music for his sonos.
This is what it is

160GB NAS

He went and bought this

Wireless Router

and this

Wireless USB Device

Now what he wants to do is be able to communicate to his NAS box wirelessly, from his main computer in his room. Whilst havign the NAS box in his den, along with the sonos player. How would I go about setting up the network so that he may access his NAS box wirelessly to add/remove files or basically (communicate) from his main PC in his room.


Thank you for your time!
-Dennis

With the Wireless Card that is linked in the post you can not connect the NAS to the Router.

You need a Game Box type of Wireless Card that can be connected to the NAS Ethernet port (like the Linksys WET54).

In addition, it does not make sense to have an 802.11g Router and buy an 802.11b card the connection to the NAS would be Slowww?.

Look here at Mode 5: http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Modes.html


The above is a Network principle. However I am not familiar with the Sonos and do not know how it is connected to the music source, could be that you have to connected the NAS with a cable directly to the Router and make the Sonos the Wireless agent with a card as mentioned above.
