The Tiny SBS is not designed to look at a network share. Under some circumstances it can be done, but its not easy. Its WAY better to run SBS on the external box which is also serving up files to other computers. This works very well and gives you the full functionality of SBS. This is what vortexbox does, its a linux server that has SBS and samba for sharing any files on the box with other computers. You can set it up as a video server as well. It also has a DLNA server. If you want something really small and silent but still quite powerful a FitPC2 running vortexbox software is great. The cheapest way to do this is with a sheevaplug and squeezeplug software, but I don't think it comes out of the box setup as a general purpose file server, but setting it up to do so is not very difficult (WAY easier than getting TinySBS to read a network share) John S. -- JohnSwenson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JohnSwenson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5974 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82070 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
