Turn your PC or Laptop into a NAS

One thing you can do with your old PC or laptop is turn it into a NAS


• Download the FreeNAS ISO Image and burn it onto a CD
• Insert the CD in your laptop and then restart and boot your PC from the CD
• Install FreeNAS
• Remember the IP address that'll pop up after FreeNAS is installed
• Jump over to another computer on the same network and punch in the IP address on a browser
• Login with username: admin password: freenas
• Setup the proper disks for sharing and user computers for accessing
