Guys, Couple of questions. First, does anybody know what file access protocol is used by TV's etc to access media files on networked computers similar to Samsung's "All-share" on windows? I'm sure it's something related to smb, but haven't tcpdumped it yet to dissect it. I have an old box that is currently dual boot that I have connected to the TV via a wireless link. In win, the TV can browse the pc just fine with the help of the win application "all-share". I would like to get the TV to access the opensuse side of the box. Any ideas what's involved? Second, I want to create a wireless bridge from the media cabinet to my normal wireless AP so that I can use the 4 wired lan ports on the back of the bridge to connect blu-ray players, etc. that don't do well with USB wireless. (Sony crap, etc...) I have a Linksys wrt-54g as my normal AP, haven't flashed with dd-wrt yet, but was going to try and use the native firmware if possible. I have a couple of spare trendnet wi-fi routers that I was wanting to use as the bride connection to the AP, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting the trendnet to connect to the Linksys as a normal wireless client so that the wired ports can function as a hub for the media cabinet. Anybody done this? I see the trendnet will function in WDS mode (basically as a repeater for the original AP), but the Linksys doesn't seem to have that functionality with the native firmware. dd-wrt seems to offer that for the Linksys. Is that the only way to go? The other option would be to completely replace the Linksys. I have a couple of trendnets (633gr and 639gr). However, if I can make this work with the original Linksys AP and one of the Trendnet boxes, that would be my preference. What says the brain trust on both issues? -- David C.
