Windows Forum / Windows Media / Devices / January 2005uPnP NAS and Media Connect "like" function
OK, I have a DLink DSM-320. So far it's "OK". Now what I want to do is place a large HDD on my home network wher my PCs can deposit ALL of their media files (not a big deal). However, I also want the DSM-320 to be able to read the files off this drive as well. Dlink sells home network drives (20gb & 40gb versions) that are very expensive for the amount of storage, but supposedly the DSM-320 can use them. So, then I looked at the4 Dlink DNS-120 which is a uPnP Ethernet to USB HDD interface. But Dlink 3rd level support statres the the DNS-120 will not work with the DSM-320. just because a device is uPnP, does not mean the DSM-320 can see it. This leads me to believe that the functions that WMC provide is more than uPnP. If so, are there any other hardware mfgs that have Ethernet HDD devices that support these functions? > OK, I have a DLink DSM-320. So far it's "OK".

The DSM-320 and DMRs use UPnP/AV -- probably the easiest solution is just to put together a computer with lots of disk storage... > OK, I have a DLink DSM-320. So far it's "OK".

I Don't know if this is any help but the D-Link DSM-624H 40G Wireless Central Home Drive has a USB port that enables you to attac additional external hard disk storage. Maybe worth looking at th Maxtor One Touch Range... Still works out cheaper than a legal Medi Server. 'www.getwireless.co.uk' (http://www.getwireless.co.uk - latenigh I don't know if I'm an oddity or what, but I've had good luck with XIMETA's Netdisk attached to my router. there was a moment when it didn't work - the disk was showing up as a mapped network drive. When I deleted the mapped drive, things worked just fine with Windows Media. The drive is showing up as a lettered drive on My Computer even without the mapping. > Hello.
