Hi, I have tried just about everything on my Freecom 350. I have been through the manual a lot and searched a bit on the internet, but whatever I try, I cannot get my box to see the share on my pc. My pc can see the box and I can transfer files wirelessly without a problem.
But I cannot stream from my pc down to the box. It's very frustrating! It's not that much of an issue, as I have a hard drive in and I can just copy files across as I need them. But the hard drive is full, so it would be nice to be able to access my library of files on my pc.

I've tried DHCP and static ip addresses, but just can't seem to get them right. I can access the internet and internet radio, so I know there is some connection.
Do I need the ftp server setting up? When I try to access that I just see 'C' but nothing else and it cannot connect. Any advice, help, extremely welcome. Thanks, Gareth.

Questions: I see the MG-250 comes with a small pouch that can be used when transporting it, but I'm a bit confused when you would need the pouch. From what I saw, the MG-250 must be plugged into the docking station to be used. Is this true, or will the unit work with some kind of adapter cable if you want to use it at a friends house to play a movie? When would (or could) you use the MG-250 when not in the docking station?
Does the unit simply work as an external USB disk when not in the docking station? Or can it be used in the car to play videos and music, without the bulky docking station? If used as a USB drive, must the unit be unplugged from the docking station to connect the USB cable? When used as a USB drive, does it get all its power from the USB cable, or do you still need to plug in the power pack? If you need a power pack when used as a USB drive, do you have to unplug the power pack from the back of the docking station and use it? (Would seem to make the docking station far less convenient if true) Is it similar to the MG-35/45 in that all media playing functions are disabled when a USB cable is plugged in? I know it does not have network capabilities, but can it access files on an external USB hard disk plugged into it?
Are additional 'docking stations' available? To make that feature actually something that adds value? I guess I am saying, if I want to add a new movie to the MG-250's hard disk, would I have to remove it from the docking station, put it in its protective pouch, move it to my PC, remove it from its pouch, plug in the USB cable, go back to the docking station, unplug the power adapter, (put it in the pouch ) move to the PC, plug it into the MG-250, plug the MG-250 into a USB port via a USB cable, transfer the file, repeat the steps in reverse finally ending up with the unit back in the docking station and the power adapter reconnected?
If I'm only moving the unit to the next room to be adjacent to my PC, do I really need the pouch? Quite honestly, I would prefer that the docking station would offer something that would not be available otherwise. In my opinion, the docking station should have included a LAN network adapter.

When docked, the MG-250-N-D (the non-existent network model in my dreams) could then access LAN based content. When un-docked, it would play content from its own disk. A less bulky video interface cable (less bulky than the docking station) would let you take it to a friends to play content on their HDTV, or use it in the car when traveling (finally, the pouch would serve a true purpose) Am I missing something? Is a 'travel cable' and additional power supply available, or must you always use the docking station to play ANY content? Hi Joe, Thanks for your kind comments, and these are some great questions.As you may have guessed there is a 'bigger picture' here - that cannot be explained in just a 2 min video. The 250 is really part of the Medigate 'Anydrive x2' that will be released later on this year - there is a great Korean review here: I think the idea also is that users will also buy a extra docking station that will make the unit much more portable.I have suggested to Al Tech that it would be great if they could come up with just a simple AV cable that could plugin to the bottom of the unit,as a 'cheaper' soloution to buying a extra dock.But I guess that would be only a Composite type cable, so you would loose the HD functions, unless you buy another cradle to provide the HDMI output etc.
The drive can be used with a 'double head' USB cable, to eliminate the need to plugin the PSU while connected to USB (I use one myself).But this is something that the user would have to buy themselves,as some USB ports put out more than 5V, you cannot blame Al Tech for not including one as standard,as they don't want to be responsible for blowing up your nice 2.5' 200gig drive.This has happened to me with anpother brand standard USB 2.5' enclosure in the past,so I understand their logic here.All 2.5' hard drives have a different tollerence to how much over voltage they can take. So if you use a 'Anydrive X2' or another docking station the famous.50c pouch would get some use:-) Yes the 250 does have to be unplugged from it dock to connect to USB, there is no USB connection on the cradle. Yes, when used as a USB,the player function are disabled. Usb operation is Slave only like the MG-35, ie you cannot access files if you pligin a USB external drive to it, ie there is no HOST USB connection like the 350/450. Yes, I am pretty sure extra dockings stations will be sold.
I agree the docking staion has its plus and minus, but as you see, the main idea of this unit is to be unsed in conjunction with the Anydrive x2. But I also agree, depending on how the user wishes to use it, some 'tweaking' with external cables etc could make it much more user friendly. THanks again for your great questions. Regards Teddy.

Hi, I really have little insite to what it 'coming' in this regard, but Al Tech are not unique in their NDAS approch as oppsed to the device operating as a real NAS.The reason for this is that the networking features of most of these units (not just Al Tech's) are built into the Sigma Designs processor chip that carries out network functions.Take the New Popcornhour and Istar players for example, network functions on these plays are similar to that of the Medigate, ie slow. But I think that both Al Tech and Sigma know that shortcomings networkwise, and I would suspect the next generation of players will have a better type of network support, but like all things these days, this will come at a increased cost. For all these player makers its a balance between cost and increased features. TVix for example are great units but some of them are three times the price of a Mediagate unit. Regards Teddy.

Is there any chance any of AirLinkTek's products will ever come with a 'real' LAN NIC connection, and not the NDAS type? If you are running a home LAN it just seems to cripple it use without one. (in my opinion) As the previous poster hinted, the docking station would have been the perfect location. Many of AlTech's products have a real LAN connection. That is not the underlying reason for the NDAS type of connectivity.
We already have LAN connectivity, we do not have the ability to write to the disks through the LAN except when using NDAS. The underlying reason is that the existing NTFS file system in the MG-35/45/250 is a read-only implementation. The NDAS driver bypasses the file-system driver and simply presents the disk blocks to the windows PC and takes advantage of your PC's knowledge of how the file-system should be managed. There has been some progress towards making a read/write NTFS filesystem under Linux. A real breakthrough came with the ntfs-3g project. This however is not part of any official MG-35/45 release, and probably not part of the MG-250 either.
Very Recently,(last week) an unofficial MG-35 alpha 'developer only' upgrade for the MG-35 was created that incorporated the ntfs-3g driver. It is the first that allows full read/write capability to the NTFS file system. The ntfs-3g driver uses a lot of memory, so playing some media types cannot occur with it loaded.
It does work with MPEG4 media. The developer suggests unloading the ntfs-3g module and using the stock ntfs module to actually play MPEG2 based media (play DVD images) once files are moved to it. (to allow the memory to be used in decoding the MPEG2 content instead of for the ntfs drive) In addition, he described the writing of files to an NTFS file-system extremely slow as the process of allocating space took a long time. So, one limitation is the amount of RAM, the other a limitation of processor speed. Both get in the way of what many would love to see, a fully writable NTFS file system from over the LAN. Both limitations are in the basic hardware. Something we cannot change.
I do expect that the unofficial 'developer releases' of firmware will figure out a compromise of some kind in time. Perhaps some kind of auto-mount of the read/write driver, only when necessary, or an easy script of commands that can be run to put it in place before moving files to the MG-35/45 and remove it when done. In my opinion, the MG-250 docking station would have been a perfect place to add a network interface. I have no idea if the docking connector has the pins available to do this, but in my opinion, they made a big mistake if they did not.
I see from the link Teddy supplied, the mg-250 is designed to eventually dock in a mobile media player/navigation display. That is one product I could never use, as a navigation system MUST be visible to the driver, and a media player (by law) MUST NOT be visible to the driver when the car is in motion. It should only be visible to the vehicle passengers. It appears as if the mobile nav-system/display can take a video feed and that is where the MG-250 is used. Personally, I use an LCD display mounted on the passenger sun-visor. It is connected to one of my MG-35's when we are traveling.
I play the audio through the car sound system via an RF modulator. The passenger can watch movies. I use a seperate nav-system for directions, it is a smaller display visible to the driver. I believe that the recent iPod docking station craze has gotten to the marketing folks at AlTech. I wish them luck, but the MG-250 product line does not make much sense to me so far. To be useful, the MG-250 should be able to be used out of the docking station. (Just like the iPod) with a simple cable to let you play via composite video, or component video at a friends house, or in the car, on the car's built in media display (many have the ability to be fed a video input).
Have two cables available. Two sales, most will buy both if priced right) I looked at the MG-250 manual, available at the AlTech site, it says the power adapter must be connected to the MG-250 when using the USB cable. Unfortunately, only one power adapter is supplied. Since it is connected to the back of the MG-250 docking station, it is inconvenient to move new media to the MG-250 unless you unplug the power adapter from the docking station. Great, a docking station, designed so we don't have to deal with plugging in a lot of cables, and we are still forced to turn it around to plug/unplug the power cable every time we want to load media on the MG-250. At a minimum, have spare supplies available for purchase, so we can put one near the PC.
And spare docking stations too. The docking station would be a perfect place to have a LAN connection, and even a processor of its own to reduce the overhead of the processor in the media player. Perhaps, sometime soon, an upgraded optional docking station with a LAN adapter built in can be developed. Then, finally the fabric pouch will be used. Transporting the MG-250 from home to car, and to a friends house to play a movie.
When at home, the LAN connection would allow access to all the media on our home servers. I can dream, can't I In the interim, check out Teddy's MG-35 Yahoo group for developments in the unofficial MG-35 firmware projects, but be warned,the ntfs-3g read/write capability is very much an 'alpha' release at this time.
It has nothing to do with AlTeck, and is completely unsupported by them. You probably should have a serial cable to be able to de-brick your MG-35.
Just in case. I have been able to find somewhere someone that speaks about this unit I really want to buy the one without HDD, called Network MediaPlayer-45 Drive-In Kit, but I'm struggling really to find the difference between this and the 450. As far as I can see the only missing thing is the WLAN connectivity, which is absolutely fine for me. Unfortunately the Freecom webpage is doing a poor job in linking the detailed product description: 45 Model http://www. Details: http:// www. HeetNetworkMediaPlayer-450DEF.pdf 450 Model www.
Details: http:// www. HeetNetworkMediaPlayer-450DEF.pdf As you can see they link the same product for both models. Of course I do need the HDMI connector And I will install the 1TB Hitachi HDD, but buying it separately costs lots less. Thanks for helping me out. Hi, The 450 offers many more features than just wireless over the MG-45. Skins - you can have 10 custom Skins for the GUI.
FTP server - The 45 Does not have this. Iradio - you can listen to Iradio Shoutcast radio stations. The ability to stream from one 450 to another. The ability to play HD files such as XvidHD.TS, and display them in TRUE 1080P rez (with HDMI). Other protocols than just Samba.
You can add a USB external drive for more storage by the 450's USB host port - the 45 only has a slave port. Be careful with the 1TB drives, as remember, the 450 was designed before 1tb drives came out - so ensure you can return it, if it does not work in your unit. You can find a list of drives that are working 100% at my MG-250/350/450 Yahoo group: or here at the main Al Tech Website. Pleasse feel free to ask any other qiestions here or at the two other locations mentioned above, Full specs on both products are here at the main Al Tech site: Regards Teddy.

Thanks for helping me out. I read carefully all the istructions, and I reconfigured the server.
Within my home (Mediagate-Router-Pc) I can easily access to MG, read and write files. But when I try to acces the MG from anoter pc, through the internet, I get the following error message from the client software (smartFTP): 'Passive ip address returned from server different from server ip.' (connection timeout) Is the possible that MG is still improperly configured such that when the FTP client sends the PASV command, the server responds with a LAN (local area network) address, rather than the Internet addressable IP address? My MG is behind a linksys router, but the portforwarding is configured. Thanks for your help!
