Hey guys
Im having some issues with a compact small server/network.
The idea is, to create a small sharing server for our office (3 computers),
and our original thought was that we should use a computer as a server.
But upon looking up NAS cabinets i found this ideal solution, a cabinet and a harddisc.
While it was all fine and dandy, we ran into some troubles.
Our modem and router is positioned down in the basement, so since we share the building
we dont feel confident leaving the NAS server down there, we want it up here.
The issue was we couldnt set another router up in here, i tried loads of things turning everything
off and turning it just into a switch, but no go, there was no internet connection available.
So as you can see this is the problem, which i have no idea how to solve, i thoguth at one point
that using the usb cables instead of lan cables would cut it, but as i found out you can have only
one USB cable hooked to the computer/server at a time, i mean yes you can buy a usb switch but this doesnt help.
Does anyone have any ideas how i am going to go about this problem, any help is welcome, thanks!
