Re: [ubuntu-uk] BT Home Hub
When I've finished my mp3 re-tagging (which I am doing using Winamp),and I am ready to connect my 500GB hard drive to my Ubuntu machine instead of to my Windows machine, I shall try connecting it to the Home Hub instead, first, and see whether the Ubuntu machine can talk to it via the Hub.

I presume the IP address is the one that the router is configured to rather than specifically 192.168.0.253. IIRC the Home Hub that I got came pre-configured to 192.168.1.254 although I changed this to fit in with my network.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] BT Home Hub
Whoops, that IP address should have read 192.168.1.253 - that particular IP address seems to be the one associated specifically with the USB port. -Original Message- From: ubuntu-uk-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:ubuntu-uk-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com]on Behalf Of Rob Beard Sent: 15 April 2009 12:09 To: British Ubuntu Talk Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] BT Home Hub Tony Travis wrote: Ian Pascoe wrote: [...] 2.

[ubuntu-uk] BT Home Hub
Hi all A little while ago someone around here, I hope, asked about the BT Home Hub. I've done a bit of research, as I use one myself, and thought I would share. 1. Can the Home Hub be used to connect to another ISP? Unless you're feeling really daring the answer is no. The other option is to re-burn the Firmware but this will take out all the Service Provider info, and you'll loose the updates that BT push out. 2. What can be connected to the Home Hub USB ports? Most mass storage devices will work out of the box. Apparently the Home Hub has SAMBA built in to aid with this. IP address 192.168.0.253 Note: From forums visited it looks like the preferred file format is FAT 32. Also, one unlucky punter had his USB HDD internal circuits blow due to the port apparently driving out too much power. 3. Can I provide unsecure and secure wi-fi at the same time? Yes, but the BT product seems to appear and disappear regularly - it involves a, unsurprisingly, a Firmware update which can take up to 2 weeks to be passed down. 4. Is it Linux compatible? Yep, although only the latest, Autumn 2008 updates, have fixed some of the Admin web page problems that were experienced by both Linux and Mac users.
