    Okay, i would have to look into it(nextcloud), i hope it would be simple to set up. Thanks for the info. The vpn for smb solution sounds too complicated for me.

    local sharing works fine through smb but i want the users to access it through the internet.

    Greetings all, There is so much information regarding setting up NAS and in so many different ways. I have an i5 3570,16GB Ram, 16GB SSD(boot), and 1 TB of HDD, and all this is strictly for testing purposes right now. The final hardware will be different. My goal is to consolidate media(movies & music) for myself and only my friends(max 7) to access it from anywhere(NOT just locally) through PCs and android phones. For initial setup I have installed TrueNAS using these instructions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wya16ef1G-E Have set up Static IP for the NAS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUodt6_e5KA and made a pool(striped) using these instructions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnRaWED9QN8 Is only one user sufficient or do I need multiple users and what kind of sharing type do I need which is secure too? I would like to know what is further set up to suits my needs and goals mentioned earlier. I'm absolutely new to all this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    If I do the setup and try to log in to the router to change the settings...it says 'invalid password'.

    I tried a different browser but it's the same thing every time.

    My primary router is a Dlink DIR605L. I have an old Dlink DIR615 that I want to use as an access point. When I connect the 615 to my desktop and connect to the router's Ip address, it opens the setup wizard (most likely I had reset the router), whenever I click on Advanced Network Settings to disable DHCP Server it jumps back to the setup wizard page. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? I will appreciate any help.

    Maybe in the future, I will add additional drives, be it for redundancy or more storage. Also, I'll be using used parts so it's going to be cheaper than a single bay Synology as they are not available where I live.

    okay

    Hi, I want to build a home media server mainly to centralize all the media in my house. I tried to get suggestions from tutorials on youtube but I can't really decide what parts do I need for my use case. Basically, I want to centralize all media and would like to access it through the internet from anywhere. Right now I only plan to use a single 2TB hard drive as there will be nothing mission-critical stored in it and later add additional drives if the need arises. The server is going to be connected to a network switch with a Gigabit line and it is going to be accessed from two desktops as well as 4-5 mobile devices. I want it to be on a budget so I can't get anything crazy. I'm open to consider used parts as well. Can someone suggest to me what processor do I need, how much RAM do I need as well as the operating system (I'm inclined towards FreeNAS mainly it's free?) and also do suggest me if I'm forgetting anything? Thanks??

    I'll look for one. Thanks.

    I don't have any problem trying but I just don't want to waste a lot of time like the last time but let's see. Can't find a good deal in used cards so I'm saving for a new card.

    I had a feeling it was a bad idea. *heavy sigh*

    Greetings everyone System Info: i7 6700, 16gb RAM, H170 Motherboard. I just watched the video on LTT youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rxFxdvO3fQ So I was wondering whether I can use an ATI 7870 for rendering my games. My current graphics card is a GT440 (garbage) as I am saving for a new one and I had to use the GT440 because the ATI 7870 was rendering weird artifacts and black screens, at one point I couldn't go past the bios screen as well. No matter how many ATI drivers I changed I couldn't fix the problem. So connecting my monitor to the GT440, will I be able to use the 7870 for rendering games and being stable at that?
  14. HunterSailor
    That makes sense.

    I'll just go home then. Good point but, I just want to use one of the CPUs which I already have. Used 8700k will still cost me more and this will be for a second computer. So I don't want to spend that much.

    Greetings everyone So I was planning to build a second system for recording/streaming the games I play to a second computer because I have a few processors lying around. I have a Q8400 and an i7 920. I also have a H61 Motherboard(LGA1155). So which one will be better for the above-mentioned task Q8400, i7 920 or i3 3220? Let me know if I'm missing something, like a certain amount of RAM if that's a factor. Thanks.

    So I recently installed the new AMD driver version(18.7.1) for my Sapphire 7870 and after a day i started getting black screens during windows 10 boot. I rolled back to driver version 16.11.4 but the issue still persisted. After searching google for a solution I found out that drivers before Crimson, Crimson Relive were less susceptible to this problem. But driver version 15 are only compatible with Windows 7. Can i install a Windows 7 driver in Windows 10 or is there a better solution for this?

    Greetings everyone, I have a PC with Android as it's OS running natively. I have a spare android phone that I want to use it as a remote for the android pc through wifi or Bluetooth since there is no IR sensor in the android PC Is there any app that can serve my purpose?

    Yes, I did all that you mentioned but I can only use the line-in port when there's an active HDMI connection. The moment I switched off my Xbox, I speakers stopped working, even in 'PC Input'.

    Ohk, i found the issue. The monitor's audio auto detect was not working. So when i connected my xbox to the monitor i was able to change the audio detect to 'pc audio'. How do i fix this?
  23. HunterSailor
    When the mp3 player is connected, the monitor displays no hdmi input and the only settings i can change are the 'inputs'.
  24. HunterSailor
    I tried to connect the mp3 player to the line-in port in the monitor but i couldn't hear anything. The mp3 player was working. I'm not sure what's the problem.
