i will have to give this a shot this weekend.

been away from the forums due to health and work issues.

ready to rebuild my HDA....:p

yea...i read your post right after i hit send.

sorry

First, my apologies for the delay. I am pretty busy at work so have not been here as often as I would like. I did look at this but not thoroughly. It will take me a day or two to get to it and another day or so to review. I will try to answer by this weekend-ish. I think we may want to move to IRC. ...

seems your HDA has the wrong IP address?

192.168.0.1 - router

& 192.168.1.10 - HDA

These are completely different networks.

you will have to change Amahi's IP address as well.

A Share Landing Zone is the path of that share, as defined in smb.conf (the Samba configuration file). (On Amahi, this is the Location field in the Setup > Shares page). Example share definition: [share_name] path = /path/to/share_name create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 read only = no availabl...

There are a couple ways you would be able to access the shares from outside your network.

One would be by using a VPN client,

the second would be using Amahi Sync.

well, free VMWare is limited to 4 cores. to me, that makes the decision...... Except oddly enough you can do one core, with 6 threads. I'm doing it with ESXi within Workstation. I don't get it. Might just do Proxmox then. If your still in the "trial" period, there are no restrictions

i agree about the only real votes being with the dev team but i also think it is fair to ask for a distro with a long support cycle.

Ubuntu LTS seems to be a logical choice.
