My TTEZ is plugged into my Admin computer on the network. No internet required since I access all info on the admin computer. The connection on the Admin computer does not need to be 24/7 but simply when you download punch info.

Yes you can but i would recommend connecting it via Lan cable to avoid any error when you want to set it to your requirements because it will ask for that.

That would depend, if you currently have a rented modem with a built in router you will need a router as well. This is only a modem that will only allow one computer to connect at a time. A router allows multiple computers to share your modem.

No you won't need one.If you plug a cable in the lan port,you can hook that to your PC.

You got it! Can't turn the @#$% thing off once it is connected. Have to shutdown the computer and then unplug it. I plug it in and do a weekly backup, then shutdown and unplug it. A pain, I'd rather just reboot before my backup then eject the thing.

That's what it's designed to so. Just connect it to your wifi network and plug it in to the other computer and off you go. I you only need to connect one computer there are other, smaller options such as wireless network adapters which connect via USB but this will also work and can support multiple devices.

NO. You do not need a computer to use this. You plug it in directly to the router. So it does not matter if your computer has Ubuntu Linus, Unix, or Windows 3.1, 95, 97, 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 8, Amiga Dos, Apple OS - Snow Leopard, Tiger, Lion or Maverick, it will WORK because it does not use them...

If you want it to be directly connected to a computer, you would need to use a Crossover Ethernet Cable. Otherwise, you would need to use a regular Ethernet Cable through a Network or a Router.

This product is very simple. The USB that connects to the computer is just like a USB Hub, so I do believe you can get away with basic USB drivers, although the only thing I would question is how locked down your users' computer is. I would presume you can get away without the need of admin privilege, but that would be based on how locked down the computer is. Keep in mind, every time you or the users use this switch to switch computers, it acts as if the USB cord was pulled and then connected to the computer you just switched to; this is not necessarily a bad thing.

I just read this. Very good info. But does the computer have to be on the internet all the time or just on. I do not mind keeping it on but I find my router often goes off the internet if I leave it too long. Can you Help LaRaine

You can set it up and disconnect. Of course, when you wish to do any checks or work on parts of your system, you need a computer to access their site and see your setup, etc.

No admin password is required for setup. This is more like plugging something into an external port like USB and VGA - more convenient though.

No, just plug it in and go. I have been in IT for 42 years, now retired and bought this for the wife. I use an HP laptop. But I do like the all in one just because it takes up less space under the desk.

You can hard wire only one computer to it . There is only one Ethernet slot and two phone jacks for the DSL connection.

It seems a bit odd that you'd have a server with wireless. You generally want 2 hardwired connections for all servers.Also, 2008 is based off Windows 7, so if it works for 7 it will more than likely work here

Hey Grand - Andrew from Boxee here. The Boxee Box will work just as you hoped. You can hook the external hard drive up to the Boxee Box to access stuff 24/7 even when your PC is off. Plugging it in will also make the drive shared on your network so you can access it from your computer across the network. If you need any help getting it up and running - give me a shout, andrew@boxee.tvBest,Andrew
