If you have a wireless router with DHCP, disconnect router from internet Method 1: First boot, don't connect to internet.Step two: Get root shell access on dockstar Order a CA-42 data cable for $4 or less - keep handy in case you goof up and have no way to connect to the box via network. Since the dockstar only has 128mb ram, you might want to consider if that's going to be an issue for you before clicking the "Buy it now" button and compare specs to similar devices. In retrospect, I could have gone through this exercise with a pogoplug or sheeva with the same result. I needed more, and I don't want third-parties having root-access to something inside my network. Pogo is, by default, a very nice setup for someone that likes what they got out of the box and doesn't aspire to squeeze out extra features. And, thanks to the passage of time I was able to get the Dockstar for $36 and a 500gb drive for $80. Another windows-reinstall later and I realize it's time to solve our in-house storage problem. Time flies, and I finally get back to the growing pains previously described and thought about her dockstar. And I felt like quite envious for not moving fast enough when the deal was over. One day, a good friend picked up a Seagate Dockstar on W00t for dirt cheap.

After the third time I had to reinstall windows because my kids, despite being instructed not to, used Internet Exploder and discovered a new trojan, I decided that the platform should also be linux-based - if any other reason because I feel more comfortable securing a Linux box that a Windows box, being an Ubuntu user for over three years. So I needed a low-cost, low-energy platform. And we're mostly watching Netflix on demand and shutting down the media center when not in use. For one thing, it's loud and an energy drain. I've tried setting up share folders from our always-on media center, but sometimes it just falls short.

And it would be nice to let them view pictures or listen to MP3s on our various game consoles so we can free up computers needed for more important things. The kids also frequently ask me to look at photos that I've taken that sit on my computer. Documents get lost among the different computers, and inevitably right before they're due. Now that I have school-age kids, and more than two computers in active use in the house, we've been reeling from the lack of a centralized storage place for documents. Read on if you're curious or if you're still on the fence. Skip ahead if you have your own mind made up on why you're about to void your Dockstar's warranty. There's a bit of a story to it, and the moral is that sometimes you have to wait for the right solution for the right price.

Or rather, "a summary of the torture I've bestowed on my dockstar" I'm putting together a writeup of how to take a factory dockstar and get it set up to be a stable, faithful pint-sized server.
