Anthony,
"TOS" I use to define "Terms Of Service." The legal BS between the user
and the ISP.
I get the behind the router business. But, in my short past with
"servers" and "Services," when they wind up and run the Router is just
the Gateway to the World Wide Waste for them. YMMV.
Bryan tells me my NAS is just a fancy "File Server." I sorta agree.
And, the damn thing still needs to "phone-home" to D-Link and/or to
NIST; or, it gets really grumpy! Gawd knows where else it speaks to! I
go blind now digging/reading through the NAS log files! Whatever....... :)
I do NAS. A simple and elegant solution for me.
Best,
Duncan

Duncan, what does TOS mean? I would be "serving" behind the router,
so I don't believe the ISP would get upset.
I have all of the hardware for a server, so a NAS would be paying for
stuff I already have...basically, I'm trying to get a NAS on the cheap
(apart for time to set up).

Anthony,
I use a NAS. Over the years, building a dedicated "File Server"
always seemed to be more complicated, and, most always ran foul to my
chosen ISP's TOS.
JMHO.
Best,

So, no one here builds their on file servers? Or, are people just
using NAS devices?

I'm thinking of turning this into a file server rather than buying
a NAS. I'm thinking of Windows Server 2008 since I mainly have
Windows 7 running here.
Other than backups, what else can I get such a system to do? Does
Windows Server include all of the necessary software or would I
have to buy something else for streaming, etc. I assume it has a
network backup tool. Would some kind of raid configuration be wise
for this? Pros & Cons?
