More than one Amahi server on same network

Postby Spokehedz » Wed Oct 17, 2012 1:32 pm

Since going through and looking for all the hard drives I can find, I find that I have way more than what can fit in any normal computer and was wondering about running more than one on a network.

Also, i cannot disable my DHCP server in my AT&T supplied router and I cannot put a router behind the router or it causes all kinds of issues--so would this cause more issues?

There's a wiki article about this. Please search for it.
But Perhaps instead of adding another Amahi Server, you could also just add a nas box and connect it via USB or eSATA and mount it as drive/s in the greyhole pool.
Also, ask AT&T about the DHCP thing... you may very well have the access... it's a simple request really.

I will check out the wiki when at home... I forgot to search that, honestly. My bad.

I have already called AT&T about the DHCP issue because I wanted to run my own DSL box because the 'Gateway' they give is this absolutely MASSIVE device and all I use it for is internet and not TV so I figured any xDSL modem would be better than this gigantic thing... and they said no go. Like, never. Then I asked them about putting my own router behind their router and they said it was unsupported and why would I want to do such a thing in the first place...

And while a million things popped into mind, none of them didn't involve the words "Server" in some fashion and they like to terminate accounts for running ANY kind of server at all...

So yeah. They are not really the most helpful when it comes to technical things.
