That's a clever way around outside the box. But probably not workable. My net connection is only iffy as cannot host a dedicated computer at the host and guarantee I can always access it, as net blips happen, the modem resets, the IP changes, etc. Not that I cannot get online.
That's what is currently happening with my WD network drive. Because we'll get a blip every so often, it fails to re-establish itself on the network, or the IP fails to "do whatever" and I have no patience or time for that stuff. AND if I'm traveling about, the laptop blows up, I need to get online using someone else's etc ... I want access to what I need. DropBox takes care of that - so pretty happy there. Drop.io is gonna work for all my archival stuff I only need every so often. That's pretty cloudy! :) On Sat, Jul 31, 2010 at 3:59 AM, denstar <[email protected]> wrote: > > So my last suggestion made me wonder...
