WL-500G Deluxe + HDD + DBOX2 possible?

[malibux]

Hi everybody!

Is it possible to use an external usb hdd connected to a Wl-500g deluxe to use it for video-recording from a dbox2?

And what configurations must be set on the router and the dbox2 (with linux on it).

thx!

It's possible, although, for some tv program's the quality is to high to record it. (for example, I can't record the Formula 1 Race because it is about 5-6 Mbit/sec).

The best way to do it, is thru a NFS export/share.

Just export an map on your wl500g and mount it on your dbox2.

Hi!

At first you must format your external hd as ex3 with the name 'part1' as 'logical partition'. Perhaps you can do this with the program partition magic.

Now my configuration:

o IP-Config -> DHCP Server
At "Manually Assigned IP List" I use the following adresses:
192.168.1.2 (für den PC)
192.168.1.50 (für die DBox)

o USB Application -> FTP Server
Enable FTP-Server: yes
Allow Anonymous User to login: yes
Allow Super user to login: yes

User Account List:
User Name: root, Password: dbox2, Rights: Read/Write/Erase
User Name: admin, Password: You should know, Rights: Read/Write/Erase

o USB Application -> Samba
Enable Samba Demo mode? yes
Enable hidden read-write share? yes
Workgroup name: Here you have to enter the name of the workgroup of your pc.

o USB Application -> NFS Server
Export: /tmp/harddisk/ (rw,async,no_root_squash)

At your dbox you have to enter for you mount diretory:

Typ: NFS
Server IP: 192.168.1.1
Verzeichnis/Freigabe /tmp/harddisk/filme ("filme" is the directory at your ext3 hd)
lokales Verzeichnis: /mnt/filme (directory at your dbox)
Mount-Optionen: nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=32768

Have luck!

Yours,
Hannes
