My Sonos system is finally multizone now!

NSYGrinner:
Thanks for all the info. I've been looking at some of the other threads and gathered plenty of info. I just need an evening where laddo is in bed early and wife out to have a bit of peace.

Scene: I've got Kasperski internet protection nad have made a note of your link you posted in one of the other threads. Thanks

OK - you'll need it the Public/Private/Trusted network thing flawed me for a couple of hours!

Actually, there is one other thing I've just noticed for us Kaspersky + NAS + Sonos users... I installed the Sonos controller app on Mrs. Scene's laptop and after that Kaspersky kept running and running a scan that hogged all the system resources. After much grief, eating of humble pie

, and investigation, I discovered that the defaulted scanning options on Kaspersky includes ALL network drives... So it was grinding to a halt as it tried to scan my 300GB of data on the NAS over a 11MB WiFi connection

Now reconfigured and I'm not getting any more grief.

I'll bear that in mind. I usually do a deep scan once a week overnight. I'll manually add the ReadyNAS for that. I did wonder, how do I know if my NAS issafe from outside threats if it is connected to the router? Well it's safe as possible at the moment it's back in its box

I only did a trial set up the other night to see if it works.

Your NAS should be safe behind your router's firewall (please tell me you have a firewall on your router, and it's got NAT and SPI...).

Basically nasty things will only get onto your NAS if they've come from another PC connected to the NAS. Which probably means your PC. Which has a Virus scanner, a firewall, spybot removers, etc.

If you do configure your NAS for remote access outside your home network, it's a different matter...

It's the little black number from Sky. I've not changed any settings on it (the router that is). I just plugged and followed the set up disc. My Kasperski is on default settings apart from the timing of the scan.

I'll pass on the idea of letting the brother-in-law remotely access the photos then.
