Can anyone tell me the advantages and disadvantages of external harddisks with an ethernet connection? Can I connect such a disk to a router (linksys wrtg54gs v1 (preferred))? Or must they need to be connected to a pc?
ABEC [LU];754097 said:I have two Lacie 250GB Ethernet drives. I just got them actually. And from a personal perspective they are great becasue I can access them with my wireless notebook.
Now, seeing as I just got them. It seems as though i can only plug one into my router at a time becasue they have the same Mac Addresses they only show up as one unit. If anyone knows how to create a new Mac address or do something different so I can have both on at the same time please let me know. Please message me as well as positing it online so i can see it as i may not always view the thread.
As to the same MAC address, no two network devices have the same MAC address, this is a unique value that is assigned.
it's ot, but I did start it didn't IVery good point Perris.
Doesn't the page file also not get written to if you open the file remotely, and save it back to the original destination (remote hard drive)?
