Need help. HDD on LAN

Krazy Owl · Feb 13, 2013

Hi.

I have put my hand on an external HDD case with a lan plug on it. I have spare drives here so I would like to plug it onto my home LAN so all people can watch movies and save files there instead of using Skydrive or google cloud.

How does it work the setup on that usually? With IP or mac adress? Other details please.

Thank you guys!

Is this a NAS?

I'm new to this stuff so you got to be more precise. Thank you

NAS is specifically designed to be networked (Network Attached Storage).

You should note down specifically what you are using (make/model).

Give us the model number. More than likely it has a default static IP that it uses and can be access using a web browser like a router.
