@Rohity123: I am not using a windows machine so cannot help you....... but when I tried with windows long time ago it worked without issues, just google how to map a network drive..... I am using it with a Mac and no problems it shows in the network area..... best to use email iOmega or use their forums for support.

Hi Ranjit, Thanks for your video! It's very helpful and i received my iX2 Cloud Edition today!

But how come your GUI is all fancy and mine is hideous, black and very very cluttered? :s

[geekyranjit]

@TzumB: Must be new version of s/w they must have launched.

Hi Ranjit, thanks for the video.

1. I am currently using Fast Ethernet Wifi and I should be changing to Gigabit Ethernet in 6 months. Can this drive work for both? (I think you mentioned that it could, but I just want to confirm.)

2. I want to share files with PC and Apple devices. I should select both the iTunes and DLNA servers. Am I right?

3. My ISP assigns me with a shared dynamic IP address. How can I use DNS for the HDD?

@StupidSundae: Yes you can use a 100Mbps port no issues....... second point Yes...... you just connect this NAS to your router it should assign the IP to it, if budget is not a constraint also check Synology DS212J that I reviewed youtube.com/watch?v=cuTf-l2Cy-­s one of the best NAS I have experienced.

Hi Ranjit, I want to buy a NAS with Bittorrent client support to download my movies without turn on my PC. Also as a backup server. I am a bit confused on which one to buy based on performance. Iomega Home Network-Cloud Edition Buffalo Linkstation Pro Dlink dns-323 Which one to buy based on below factors - Performance (speed) - most effective GUI - most powerful bittorrent client - good customer support Kindly advice.

@equal2k4: Just use a free Free Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service no-ip comes to my mind, even dyndns.org is good but paid.

@geekyranjit thank you very much. 1 more question: where can i figure out the ip to connect to the NAS from another location ? i want it to stay in the town i study, but i'd like to access some files from my hometown -> as far as i saw it's only supported for 12 months via built in WAN bla

@equal2k4: Nope you have to connect it to your router via the ethernet cable.
