so, i was looking at netgear's sc101t, but i've since discovered that it's not yet vista compatible! i now need to find an alternative....
i want something that i can network two laptops to wirelessly. i'd prefer it to be byod, with at least two bays. i'd also like it to be neat looking. and for <£200....
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

when i say 'wirelessly', i obviously mean through a router...
-
vista compatible ? most of these home used NAS runs samba(and with a web interface for admin) which I fail to see any incompability.
-
that's what i thought. but i've read in a few places that people can't get it to work on vista...?
-
no idea then. I have no problem accessing my own linux samba server using vista though.
-
netgear's own website lists vista as an os that connot be used...

Adaptec/SnapAppliance Guardian OS NAS's supports Vista, provided the OS is current. But these are not cheap units. They make small 1 & 2 drive model. I have seen very few of the smaller units on ebay. Only the old models which do support Vista.
-
Ive heard that a lot of samba-OS NAS devices are incompatible because Vista has problems with IPv6, a protocol that Samba uses.

You can always turn off IP6. It may make a difference.
