Even I have a FAT+ and never knew you can run torrents etc on it. Do you need to install a 3rd party firmware or something. Would be great if you can point me to a good guide! :)

yes it does

check the forums at seagate

they have cracked the new firmware which was locked due to netflix compatibility

i am using my laptop at the moment

Dockstar is also configured to download

FAT+ havent started downloading it

didnt find the time to install optware and put in effort

Mod 2.23 Firmware - Seagate Community Forums

FreeAgent Theater - Seagate Community Forums

I dont have linux background ...

even configuring dockstar took time but got help from jeffs forums

varkey knows that ...

then installed realtek 880S WIFI drivers on dockstar

now when i find some time will start using my EVDO Sierra Wireless 595U connecting on dockstar

ICS on dockstar through WIFI dongle

will use my mobile , laptop , FAT+ with it

have asked my cousin to get me a E3000

intend playing with the dual bands

E3000 will come by july beginning so lets see ..

then might do HD streaming to FAT+ through 5Ghz band

my 1.8 GHz DECT Panasonic cordless is also interfering with 2.4 GHz wifi

neighbors also have the same 2.4 Ghz

so 5 Ghz seems to be the way with dongles as cheap as 500-700 bucks for lappy or desktops

want to be the early bird which gets the best worms

@varkey did you remove IR lens cover from FAT+ to improve the famous remote reception issues ?

@kuduku - Thanks mate, will read more about it. No I haven't made any changes to the FAT+ yet, in fact its still running the base firmware, haven't even updated it. Will definitely try it out.

I had written a guide to make the Dockstar work as a 3G gateway, the steps will be similar for EVDO as well, maybe you can try it -- How-To Configure Seagate FreeAgent Dockstar as a 3G Gateway - VARKEY

read it long time back ..

the day you posted it in jeffs forums

will use it to configure Sierra Wireless modem
 
In Recent threads update.

Found this

50 % people use Asus Routers with DD WRT to download stuff :) Though not sure if they download http & ftp.

Many people also use HD Media player to download but yet to find majority of Media Player which is highly used to download torrents.
 
I currently have 3

1) Asus o!play Air HDPR-3 modded with custom firmware

2) NAS K-330

3) Acer Revo

had another one but sold off now

Asus wl700g with 160 GB HDD flashed with custom firmware.

On to configuring dockstar
only thing left is configuring transmission or deluge
and sharing evdo modem internet of dockstar through wifi
to my laptop , FAT+ and mobiles

@varkey 3G gateway thing from your website didnt work on my laptop
will give the detail error later in night
 
^ On your laptop? Did the modem get detected and connect properly?

Anyway let me know what is the exact error.
 
My sireral Wireless 595U modem properly connected to dockstar and internet
pon xxxx works perfectly fine
I can open links and download by apt-get install
wanted to make it 3G gateway through WIFI realtek 8188SU which is properly recognized
So that my laptop , mobile etc can use the internet and i cam have a WIFI router like ease of no wires
kernel is gorgone 2.6.37.1
yours 2.6.38 didn't work properly with error that SATA ports not present
will post the error in a while
is this correct
 
You would have set the arcnumber as 3089 as per my blog. That is for the GoFlex Net. For Dockstar it should be 2998.

Anyway that guide was for a normal wired connection on eth0. To make it work as a wireless hotspot you may need to install some additional packages etc.

did set arch number for dockstar

but didnt work out

so whats required for WIFI hotspot

--- Updated Post - Automerged ---

will this work for wifi share

Share your 3G Internet connection over wifi (Linux / iPod Touch) 1

from the webpage

Create the script that is going to enable your laptop to share 3G with iPod

Now, here is the script that does the job, you will have to run it as root, or with root privileges.

SCRIPT

#Enable wireless lan card, replace with your interface name.

ifconfig wlan0 up

#Configure it in Ad-Hoc mode

iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc

#Set the ssid for your shared network

iwconfig wlan0 essid shared3G

#Assign an IP address to it, use a private one.

ifconfig wlan0 up 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

#Start your DHCP server, this line applies for Arch Linux, for Debian should be

#/etc/inid.d/dhcpd start

/etc/rc.d/dhcpd start

#Set the IP tables rules to run NAT

iptables --flush

iptables --table nat --flush

iptables --delete-chain

iptables --table nat --delete-chain

iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface wlan1 -j ACCEPT

#Temporaly enable IP forwarding in the Kernel

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

now how to make a script ?

Adding this "!/bin/sh" will make it a executable script ?
 
^ I haven't tried to make it as a wireless accesspoint. Anyway to make it as a script just copy it into a file and 'chmod +x' the file and it should run.

Anyway there is a package 'hostapd' which is used to handle the access points and other aspects of the network. You should try that. One other problem is, linux drivers of some wireless adapters does not support the master mode or access point mode.
