Is there a simple way to make this work without getting into hairy network shares setups or other fancy configurations?
I can play music files from a remote drive accessed via nfs. but haven't tried one connected via router. I don't know why the router access would be any different than another computer. note that quality may suffer if the remote is wireless and signal is not strong.
The problem is that the router method is inflexible, you can not add to it support for some other protocol. We know that this router accepts ext3 disks and xfs, which is a surprise: the router I tried accepted FAT and NTFS, the doc said. We know you can access via http. Reading from the wikipedia. The HD seems to be intended for recording TV programmes. Wikipedia says that the disk is made available "to Macintosh, Linux, and Windows computers", but it does not say which protocols it supports. My guess is that it will support samba, perhaps nfs. Gumb, you have to check that. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
