adamg, I think you're getting a little confused with your available options.
If you want to use the Touch's built-in server (TinyLMS) then you should attach the USB drive to the Touch's USB port, not to your router's USB port. It's technically possible to get the Touch's server to see a NAS over the network, but it adds another significant level of complexity and it is not reliable. And you probably can't run LMS on the router. Consumer-grade routers usually do not have enough processing power to run LMS. And usually you can't get into them to install LMS anyway. Going back to the idea of running the Touch's built-in server with the USB drive directly attached, I wouldn't recommend that either. It works for some people, but for most it is not reliable. The Touch does not have the computing horsepower to run TinyLMS reliably. If you want to use something other than the PC to run LMS you could look into one of the NASs that comes with LMS support, but my advice would be to buy a small form factor pc instead. The "small form factor" could be anything from a Raspberry Pi to one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=barebones+pc&N=100006668&isNodeId=1 . The small pc will give you much more flexibility than a NAS, and typically lower cost per unit of processing power (though *some* NASs do have advantages in terms of ease of setup). I guess some of it comes back to _why_ do you want to switch from running LMS on your pc to something else? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100899 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
