Re: Windows 7 backup

Yes, true. However, I have never experienced issues moving a license to a different PC. A simple phonecall to Microsoft's verification centre to verify you are only running on 1 PC is all they seem to care about. Mind you, since the licensing is very specific to only one PC, and no move-sies, Micros...

Re: DNS and DHCP should be optional, for real

How much are you hydro bills if you dont mine me asking. What do you pay per Kw/hour I use to have 5 PC's running 24/7. In the last 10 months I now only have one (amahi box) that runs 24/7 and the 2 PC's in the house got into sleep mode after 10 minutes. I really didnt notice much different in my h...

Re: DNS and DHCP should be optional, for real

You can add "192.168.1.99 hda" into your "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" file so that using "\\hda" will work.

This assumes your HDA's IP address is 192.168.1.99 of course.
Ha! Yes true! Wow, can't believe I didn't even think of that! Cheers mate! :-D

Shut out key features from 80% of your consumer base....home premium and no network backup to WHS. Wasn't that intelligent? If I didn't code .NET I would h...

Re: DNS and DHCP should be optional, for real

Due to extremely high time-of-use electricity costs, I needed to be able to sleep the server during specific periods, but maintain access to the network. What I did was disable the DHCP server on AMAHI, but keep the DNS going. On my router I put the Amahi box as the primary DNS server, and my ISP DN...
