Thanks so much, that did it. Feeling like an idiot for not having caught it myself. Appreciate the quick response!

WHS IP/Subnet issue

I have a Windows Home Server that has been purring along for several years. I use a static IP to allow me to access it remotely. I recently upgraded my router, and now I've lost all connectivity. I assume it was because the default gateway IP had changed. My former TCP/IP entries with the...

I used to love Linksys, now I hate Linksys, need suggestions

JackMDS - thanks for the correction. I realize that Linksys is not a specific model. I wanted to express that I have been a fan of Linksys brand routers in the past. I like the interface and have had good success with configuring them. The current model I have (WRT310N) has been frustrating...

I used to love Linksys, now I hate Linksys, need suggestions

I've had Linksys routers for years and have been very happy with them. Solid performance and a good interface. Unfortunately, the WRT310N I bought about a year (give or take 6 months) ago has been a massive piece of crap. The range is horrible; plus, to make matters worse, there are no...

Cat5e or 6 for gigabit ethernet?

Quick question for everyone...I'm tired of the time it takes for videos to transfer from both my PC and TiVo to other machines, so I'm going to hardwire. Fortunately, it shouldn't be too difficult to run the lines. I have a gigabit router, will pick up a gigabit switch, but am not sure whether...

Windows Home Server build

Thought I'd give everyone an update on what I ended up doing... First of all, I was blown away by the willingness of everyone to not only give me advice, but to run benchmarks as well. It really should be stickied for anyone wanting to do a WHS build. Here's the final results: 1)...

DynDNS works great! But help me understand why...

Thanks to all of you who replied. Freegeeks really helped me understand with "When you read a webpage from your server (http), you are actually setting up a tcp connection to port 80 on your router using the public ip address (translated by DNS). Your router will forward this request because of...

Apologies in advance for seeming clueless. I just want to know why something is working (naturally curious, I suppose). So I've set up a WHS and have been very happy with it. Now that I've got the proper port forwarding working on my router (done manually, since UPnP didn't work that well)...

Windows Home Server build

As the OP, I want to thank RebateMonger and JackMDS for their testing of the various configurations. It was incredibly informative. It looks like another 1/2 gig - 1 gig RAM plus a gigabit NIC will be my best bang for the buck. I'm building the server over the weekend. I'll make sure to post...

Windows Home Server build

I appreciate everyone's opinion on the the topic. JackMDS...you said what I wanted to hear. From what I've read, WHS doesn't need much to get it running. Yes, I could get a new mobo (and maybe I should), but I want to make the existing hardware work as well as possible. I already have an OEM...

Windows Home Server build

With that being said, any quick recommendations for a motherboard? I'm using a large Antec case, so I'm assuming that an ATX board is what I'll need. I'd think an inexpensive AMD processor is the probable choice for it?

Windows Home Server build

I'm putting together a WHS box from old parts. The motherboard is an Intel D845PEBT2 with a P4 2.4 GHz proc. It currently has 512 MB in a single PC2700 DIMM. I know the processor is plenty powerful, but I have a few upgrade questions: 1) Mobo only supports 10/100 ethernet. Agreed that I...

Choosing hard drives for $100 or less

Just picked up two F1 1TB drives for a WHS build. Did a lot of research and they spec out very well. Plus, only about $95 at the 'Egg (probably can find cheaper, but I've never had any issues with them).
