Blimey that was easy!
  1. Unpack the box
  2. Connect the NAS to the second Gigabit Lan port on the media server using a normal cat 5e cable as you guessed, Bushfiva, not a crossover
  3. Connect transformer
  4. Wait three minutes for NAS to boot
  5. Run autodiscover software
  6. Device found
  7. Backup schedule created
  8. Backup in progress
No messing, and how technology should be according to my wife!

As a Brucie Bonus the NAS (a Western Digital MyBook World Edition II with 2x1TB RAID 1) comes with subscription to the MioNet web remote access service that is free for the life of the unit. My wife is now even happier because it means I don't need to rebujild her old laptop as a Linux-engined FTP server for sharing photos and videos with friends and family around the globe; they can simply be granted a read-only MioNet account instead, running on the NAS. Nice, but I've now got to think of another project!
