Yes, this is entirely possible. I would personally recommend using Windows to share the drives out as it is likely more familiar for you to use and does not have a steep learning curve (and is easier to manage for permissions - in my personal opinion). You can use home/pro versions of windows to achieve this (right click the folder, sharing, share it) and this will work fine. Alternatively, a NAS distro (https://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=NAS) would work well in this case - however I feel this may be a little too much to get started with and may be more appropriate to use in a lab environment. Best of luck with your project.

You could use a localized VPN solution on the PC (SoftEther/Hamachi) for you to connect through and then access the drive using the traditional methods. Alternatively, you could use a FTP server and only allow certain IP addresses with the correct credentials to access it. Neither of these are a perfect solution but they are relatively inexpensive and will solve your issue in the short term at least.

Hi there, Trying to install windows (over Discord - so not the best exp) for someone on their new machine from a UK SI. Before I go on the phone to them - thought I'd ask this community - the machine is: Gigabyte B450M-DS3H AMD Ryzen 5 2600 120GB WD Green SSD 1TB Seagate HDD 16GB RAM GTX 1060 Drives show up in BIOS and in Diskpart (I can use Diskpart but not install Windows on them??!?!!?!) - I've also tried 3 USB ports (all 2.0) and tried to install the AMD SATA Controller (which installed but didn't give me any new drives). Any ideas what I can do?

That PSU looks more than adequate in my opinion. 80+ Gold and more than enough wattage with a bit of breathing room.

No image will be produced. You require an additional graphics solution for this CPU.

Your connection doesn't change, you are just pushing all the data you would normally push direct through a tunnel towards another server. Your ISP will just see it as connecting to another device on the internet.

Use a test device over Ethernet (not permanently, of course). If it's not going near the advertised speed - give VM a call and explain the situation when over wired, they should check the power levels if they follow procedure correctly and if it's low then VM will send an engineer out and resolve it either at the cab level or by using an amplifier closer to you. You can have a little check for yourself by going to your router's admin page (http://192.168.0.1/) and without logging in click Check Router Status - click on Downstream and you should see a heading in a table saying "Power (dBmV)". If that level is above -6dBmV and below 10dBmV - you're fine on that front. In addition to this - VIVID 200 is only 12 mbit/s upload. Your upstream is fine. It's most likely your power line adapter causing the issues on the downstream.

If you haven't bought the machine yet (my assumption) - perhaps (as you've gone with a 144 Hz monitor) you might want to spend the extra $80 to go up to a GTX 1060 6GB rather than an extra stick of RAM (however some modern games do appreciate the extra RAM over the graphics horsepower)

These routers are notoriously bad - they're based on the Intel Puma 6 SoC which has known issues and struggles to push everything properly. I would recommend switching to modem mode and using a third-party router if you are concerned about latency/packet loss. That being said, for most use cases the SH3 is fine, however their older revisions are better. However, in addition to this - as @Abdul201588 said - powerline is pretty poor for full speed. If your speed continues to fall below standard over Ethernet you may be having issues with the power level on DOCSIS (it's a nightmare) and you may want to speak to big red about resolving this. Good luck.

According to the manufacturer of your gateway - to port forward those are the steps you need to follow. Putting in your exact IP may not work correctly.

Once you've changed your external IP to 0.0.0.0 - save the rule and then restart your PC & modem.

It's a common fault/lack of feature for a lot of these boxes. They can't output HDR effectively if both devices don't support it.

What's your budget? For what you've described I would probably describe a Corsair Crystal Series 570X or a Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-OMEGA case.

Almost all boxes you'll find will not support HDR while you have a non-HDR supported device also plugged in to it. Have you tried looking in the Xbox output settings (supposedly, disabling YCC 4:2:2 in Xbox output settings and having all the dip switches to the up position solves this issue."). Best of luck in finding a box though - they're rare for ones that work flawlessly.

It sounds like it is a driver issue, try to use Guru3D's Driver Display Uninstaller (while on iGPU) and then boot your system with the GTX 760. Should work once you've done that and then you can install the correct drivers from NVIDIA's website.
