I just set up FreeNas last night on an old laptop. This is for a simple home NAS for storage and accessing data across all devices, and streaming to the PS3. I am using the X64 8.2 latest - the laptop has an AMD64 Processor and 4 GB RAM. I added a 1 TB HDD to the laptop and it is connected to my router.
I used this guide here (which is old but I was able to follow it): http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/01/how-to-set-up-a-home-file-server-using-freenas/
I set up a volume called HOMENAS (didnt know what to call them) and then I set up a Windows CIFS called NASSHARE. I turned on CIFS in services.
I was looking for UPNP to turn it on but I could not find it anywhere in services or plugins. I have searched for a guide on how to get it working but I have not found one that is for this latest version 8.2.
Would anyone be able to tell me how to enable UPNP so I can stream to my PS3? Is it something to do with plugins that now need installed? Is there anything else I should install? Apologies if there is a guide already but I did not find it - please remember it should be noob friendly (screenshots help!).
Thanks all.
