Network Access - SV650.org

I've got a linksys router serving two laptops (one wired, one wireless) and the xbox. I'm going to be getting a network hard drive which will plug in to the router. How can I restrict access to one laptop?

Is this a NAS box and do you mean that you want to restrict access to the NAS box from one laptop?

em I don't know. It's a hard drive that has a network cable so I can keep all my files on it, instead of the laptop. I want to stop one laptop from accessing the hard drive

Assuming the NAS has no kind of ACL, depending on the router you could put the two laptops on different VLANS.

What router and what NAS device?

I would guess that the switch that is built into the router has no provision for VLANs. So you know Darren, NAS stands for Network Attached Storage. Your network hard disk is known as a NAS device. Most, if not all of them come with the ability to allow access only to certain users, so you can configure an account on the disk so that only you can use it, if you want someone else to be able to use it then you can also add them an account.

It's a Linksys 354g v2. I haven't got the hard drive yet but it will probably be something like this
