I just checked mine. 8080, 443 (SSL), or a custom port is what you could use. WRV54G here. Piece of crap, if anybody wants one... Chris Shaw wrote: On Mon, 11 Sep 2006 01:00:16 GMT Ben Ruset [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Linksys routers do not work on port 8080. They're either 443 or 80 ie: I

I disagree with this... I tend to like the no-fan external HD setups, as long as they are a direct contact aluminum case. I have over a half dozen deployed without issues, including one attached to a co-loed server to data backups (remote backups to the drive from outside the co-lo). 64F in

All I know is that both my 7200 RPM drives would go offline randomly and were extremely hot to the touch when running in Speedzter 3 enclosures which are aluminum. Open the cases or set them, sealed, in airflow from a 80mm fan, all was well. For the past 2 years I have been blaming MS Firewire
