That's whats up. I'm very good at googling.Ask yourself one question, "Are you good at googling". if the answer is yes, then 95% of your IT skills are done.

OR... a linux box using Samba.I asked her if she wants to add a server she said no.
Which leaves me with Windows 7 Homegroup Sharing lol

100% agree. And at the price of a basic server nowdays it's stupid to try and make one do it.What the lady wants and what the lady doesn't realize she needs are two different things. Trying to make a workstation act like a server does not work. Period.
Hey this looks pretty good.Yeah that's crazy... I'm talking more like this - http://www.amazon.com/Synology-DiskStation-Diskless-Network-Attached/dp/B005YW7OLM/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1372809997&sr=1-3&keywords=buffalo nas
James said:After all of the positive reviews for the Synology DiskStation 2-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage DS211J (White) I saw that an updated model was just released and decided to try it out.
Coming from an iomega StorCenter NAS and a NetGear ReadyNAS, I have one word for the DiskStation: WOW.
The D212J makes these other product lines look like thumb drives - mostly due to Synology's DiskStation OS. This feels like a full-fledged system; more or less a dedicated server. Faster, quieter and exponentially more customizable without being overwhelming. And so far, it's proving to be much more reliable.
Every feature and detail (and there are far too many to list), from start to finish, has been thoroughly developed. From the box, to the installation CD software (which remotely installs the OS on the unit over the network), to the remote access features and mobile apps, no feature has been left out or unpolished. Completely solid, every step of the way. If you're looking for a full-featured media server, backup server or file server, you'll find it all here in top form. You'll even find surprisingly well developed web and database server options.
The whole OS feels like if you took the best of Mac OSX and Windows 7 and blended them together. There's some serious R&D and talent behind this thing. It is rare to find a product so thoroughly excellent.
One of my more 'wow' moments: the DiskStation OS detected my router - with a custom firmware - logged into it, and tweaked it to allow remote access and torrent/usenet downloading through the NAS. In one click. Yeah.
Solid access control, packages/applications support, tons of remote usability, endless list of polished features, constant updates, high performance.
This is a vastly superior experience, and one that I don't expect to ever be topped for a device of this type.
It's worth far more than what it costs. You won't be disappointed.
I'll beg to argue somewhat with this. This is EXACTLY where I got into it at, and progressing forward by helping some IT that were being paid to do it (I just volunteered time) until i got the hang of it. No "cetifications" official IT "qualifications", etc. And the Dr. Office that I do work for (and originally set up) is doing just fine 13 years later with the same basic structure we set up originally (just updated hardware). The city that I did work for 7 years rocked along just fine (2 servers for cityhall, 3 for the PD - each running it's own exchange server, etc) with me at the helm (and stern - and midships). We hired very little out on contract (I did the wiring, spec'ing the servers, installing/configuring the servers - you name it I was a 1 man IT department), and this was a city of 22,000 residents.That is so what I was thinking... well said. There is a huge difference being an IT versus being a little knowledgable about computing and basic networking. Running servers to deliver mail, file server, so forth, is beyond a little knowledgable IMHO, and often requires actual IT qualifications, not a want to be IT from connecting some home PC's to work together from a NAS or such.

Now, can everyone do that? No - I found that I had an innate knack for being about to look at, understand and implement stuff related to this. Was a shock to me as for most of my career I was just a patrolman (of course, I should have gotten the hint when in 1984 I purchased a Tandy CoCo 2 and wrote a basic program to track my calls for service (at first using a cassette - then moved to the big world of a 5 1/4 floppy) at an apartment complex that I was working security at).
Been retired out of it for a while (but still do some work related to it), and have a setup now at the house several smalls businesses would kill for.
Pretty well. When I retired we had an IT audit done - just some niggling stuff was brought up, and they even told the city it was because they were having me do to much.So if I pen tested that city, how well would it survive?

1 x Internet Connection
1 x Internet Router (the ISP should provide one usually)
1 x Firewall (if not part of the router)
1 x X port switch (where X is the number of ports required for everything current plus a couple of years expansion)
1 x Server (you can buy a server preinstalled with Windows Server Essentials, includes Exchange, Active Directory etc. all on one box)
X number of PCs, screens, keyboards and mice.
X number of licenses for Microsoft Office Professional (check out volume licensing pricing too - usually cheaper than retail)
X number of printers (ensure it supports LAN)
X number of anti-virus licenses.
..says the person that post his reply as code lolI can't even begin to address the level of self centered elitism in this thread...
how is that elitism?..says the person that post his reply as code lol
and read the whole post as one idea...you would realize that, but I am sorry if you don't understand that and that I conveyed that idea at a forum full of WEBMASTERS who deal with code everyday, regardless of skill level. My post was meant as encouragement to Dre who should not be listening to people who say don't do something as he should be listening to people who actually give advice rather than the people using this thread as an opportunity to grandstand.I can't even begin to address the level of self centered elitism in this thread...ohh wait ever since someone insulted me and told me I cant do something I learned how to express it...
