Re: Re: New Tranquil T2 Windows Home Server PC

I may be wrong but I think this is the case:

* Samba - yes (if this is normal windows file sharing?)
* NFS - no
* UPnP - yes, via Windows Media Player 10 I think - at least I remember
clicking on some box to say I wanted it enabled, but I could be dreaming it
- anyone else know for sure?
* FTP - not configured out of the box, but I believe it's included in
Windows Server so could be enabled.

But I advise you ignore me :) and instead: WHS is essentialy Windows Server
2003 so you're best looking for info on that...

I use my NAS as a Backup device and also as Media streaming server (I
have a Squeezebox, Netgear 1000 and a Pixel Magic Mediabox MB200 as
playback devices)

I'm shortly due to run out of disk space, both internal and external
USB and eSATA connections, so I was considering Windows Home Server.

However, from my investigations so far, I'm not all that convinced it
will function well as a Media server. As mentioned in the Video
footage under the HP thread, Microsoft identified 12+ main features
and chose to concentrate on 2 to 3 of them. So it strikes me that the
backup features are what most users are impressed with.

It's been difficult to find information on whether WHS supports Samba,
NFS, UPnP or FTP. Most NAS boxes and Media players support.
