External Hard Drive - Wireless

[Fred Bloggs]

Fred - is the drive formatted as NTFS or FAT32? And which version of SUSE are you on? Could this be the problem?

Apologies, only just seen this. OpenSuse v10.1. Actually, Buffalo doesn't claim Linux compatibility on their website. But I didn't know that when I bought the Buffalo. No problems at all using the Buffalo box either as a print server or a network drive under Windoze XP. 5 networked PC's, 2 by ethernet cable, 3 wifi all of them via BT Voyager router. HTH.

The box is running on a Linux distro if remember correctly so it must be compatible. Probably needs obvious but hidden setting to be turned on somewhere

Very interesting. Buffalo ignored my email when I asked about Linux compatibility. I'll have to take another look.

A quick bit of google-fu brought up this:

I know you aren't using Ubuntu but the mount commands should be identical.

Wow, thank you!

I got a Freecom Wireless Media Player

came with a 500GB HDD, wireless or wired and plugs directly into the TV so I can watch downloaded videos- has a raft of connections on the back and only about the size of a router

It cost me 190 cleggies nearly a year ago - should be cheaper now
