[H] iOS 7
So, I updated my phone to iOS 7 and it looks pretty decent so far. The new layout is a bit jarring but I'm sure I will get used to it. It's funny how Apple has taken the best bits from different operating systems but somehow have managed to improve them and give them a name. And that's what I don't like about Apple it makes people think that Apple has invented this feature while that is not necessarily the case. Either way it really doesn't matter in the end I think that what Apple is doing pushes the mobile industry forward regardless of how they may copy other people. Indian the real winner is the consumer and that's what matters the most. Sent from my iPhone

Tim, Thanks for the reply. I do so understand your situation(s). I don't have that need for separation. In any case, I think Jaime's reply has me back on track again. Yes, I do get the DNS business, but, ATM I do not have any data for the DNS servers at my Brother's ISP (rr.com). I guess I am being lazy, but I figure he can find this data from his tech support, BrightHouse.

Re: [H] Again MSHOME vs. WORKGROUP?
Usually you set that up yourself when installing Windows or other OS's. My router domain at home is Beave.net, but when I install Windows it defaults to workgroup and the domain/workgroup. At work the domain is ADV-DATA.local and it is setup that way on the router. Although, I have it setup if anyone uses the DHCP to access the network they will not be able to access the domain services, this is due to the fact the Router has one DNS server and the Domain uses others to access the active directory and network itself.

Re: [H] Again MSHOME vs. WORKGROUP?
Jaime, Thank you for your share. Youhave blown 3years of confusion on my part right into the dirt! Nope, not worrying about machine unique 'shares.' That is a separate bucket of snakes.

Re: [H] Again MSHOME vs. WORKGROUP?
Duncan, The bottom line is that you can change the workgroup name, but you have to do it on each and every computer. In Win7, it's under Control Panel - System and Security - System - Advanced System Settings - Computer Name and to rename the computer. At the bottom it will allow you to change the workgroup.

[H] Firefox problem
My primary browser is Opera but I also am using the latest updated version of Firefox. A month ago I was looking for a TV show I missed and ran a Google search. A torrent came up, and I clicked on it. The torrent never downloaded but ever since, every time I load Firefox the torrent at 0 bytes appears on my desktop which, for Firefox, is the download location. It doesn't appear in download history, or anywhere that I can find but there it is. How do I stop this behavior short of uninstalling Firefox. Thanks

Re: [H] 3TB
I get it. You are a 'super-user.' Don't know about 'hybrid RAID.' I have never tried to fully understand RAID. It is one of those PFM topics! I use XRAID2, which I suppose is Netgear's own. Fine. I have no complaints ATM. My NAS are all 24/7, 365 since birth. No issues. Me, I just store files. I don't do video, torrents, photo-albums, music round-abouts, etc. I'm still a NAS-noob. But since 2009 and my first NAS, I am hooked. My home LAN is NOT complete without an operational NASof some make, model, color, flavor. I have seen the future and it lives and works in my home.

The data loss my my fault on that that one. The UPS I was using was not compatible with the readynas and I knew it, so the unit lost power when the battery ran out.
