Updated network map
Updating this post from last year, here is the current network map done on Gliffy.
Two changes at Jennifer's desk:
We did get the new TV and media stack downstairs as previously mentioned, and much of the equipment is networked or networkable:
I haven't built the file server in the garage yet, but between the two DirecTiVos and Jennifer's machine we now have 1.5TB of available media storage, and that doesn't count the unexplored internals of the HR21-700 HD-DVR.
Note added 2008-08-08: An updated version of this post is here.
Two changes at Jennifer's desk:
- Moved the Linksys WAP54G inside to Jennifer's desk area -- better coverage throughout the house.
- Added a Linksys SD208 8-port switch at Jennifer's desk -- needed since there are only two hardwired ports at the desk, and there are now three devices (her computer, the print server and the WAP54G).
We did get the new TV and media stack downstairs as previously mentioned, and much of the equipment is networked or networkable:
- Added the DirecTV HR21-700 HD-DVR -- two built-in Ethernet ports.
- Added a second Philips DSR704 DirecTiVo -- running standalone, no satellite connection, just for MRV (TiVo Multi-Room Viewing) of recorded programs from upstairs.
- Added a Nintendo Wii game console -- built-in WiFi.
- Added a Linksys WGA600N wireless-to-Ethernet bridge and a Linksys USB200M Ethernet-to-USB adapter.
I haven't built the file server in the garage yet, but between the two DirecTiVos and Jennifer's machine we now have 1.5TB of available media storage, and that doesn't count the unexplored internals of the HR21-700 HD-DVR.

Wii the people
After playing with the Wii at a friend's place, we decided to pick one up if we could find one but weren't going to look too hard. As it happened, we were at Target a few days later and they had a stack of them.
After a couple of days, I can definitely say I like it. We only have the Wii Sports game that comes bundled with the console right now but plan to get Wii Play pretty soon. I also downloaded the Internet Channel (which is actually a customized Opera browser) last night.
Our Wii number is: 2790 3571 8506 4527
Feel free to add it and let me know if you do!
