Would love to buy the Pogplugged. But I can't really afford the extra $107 right now.

So I download the FreeNAS live CD.
Booted up my old portable from the CD.
Set the LAN IP address using option 2.
Connect from second machine using 'http://192.168.2.67:80'
Log in using 'admin/freenas'
Attached a windows USB drive.
How do I get FreeNAS to see it?
Took some looking before I realize that there is a green '+' to the right of the drive list. Selecting the '+' gave me the 'Disk|Add' window.
Change password to my favorite password.
Working from LiveCD so password is not saved.
The web interface is good if you have a single partition on a single drive, but that it not what I have.
trying by hand.
From the shell.

Trying to see what drive dmesg saw: less /var/run/dmesg?
md0 - I think this is the drive in memory for the liveCD
ad0 - this is the drive for the protable
acd0 - the DVD drive
PC BIOS partitions are called slices.
See what 'slices' are on the USB drive I am testing with.
On USB stick: (da0)
Mounted the slice for the stick.
# mkdir /mnt/st1
# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/st1
#l ls /mnt/st1
Audio
It didn't show up in the WebGUI.
Unmount and used WebGUI.
Add drive than mount point.
I can see it from the shell now.
OK, how do i see it from another machine?
What to do from the WebGUI when you start:
Set the time. System -> General
Change the password. System -> Password
Add the disk. Disks -> Management
Set mount point. Disks ->Mount Point -> Management
Trying to connect. Looks like Samba is already running on the FreeNAS.
Look like Samba is installed on the connecting machine.

Use command 'hostname' from command line to see host name.
Use "route -n" to find the gateway address: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-find-gateway-ip-address/
This seems to be a good tutorial: http://www.lagesse.org/freenas-tutorial-for-windows-users-part-two-configuration/
Going to have to reboot in windows and test from there. The test fails in Ubuntu.
