Mah Netwerk … Let me show it you

Since we’re discussing networking this week I thought I’d post some pics of my home network and some of the devices on it.

Here we have my basic setup in the “office” (really a large sunroom at the back of the house).  Two desktop computers and the media server on top.  I’m trying to expand the disk storage and update the OS on the media server so that’s why the lid is off.  All three are hooked into 2 kvm switches to share the two monitors.  There’s an 8 port gigabit switch that these systems are hooked up to.  The router and cable modem are off screen to the left.

Next is the server I set up for school.  Notice the futuristic wall mounted LCD monitor.  It’s like living in the future!  For now the server is on my work bench.  In the lower right you can see a 4 port switch.

In the same room, I’ve got my softmodded Xbox plugged into the network.

In the den, I’ve got my hardmodded Xbox plugged into a modded router.  Since the Xbox can’t do wireless I set the router up as a wireless bridge to put the Xbox on the network.  Our main router is actually the same model.

In the same room I have my turntables hooked up to an older laptop.  I could never get the laptop to work on a wireless network (it’s that old) even with a PCMCIA card or USB adapter so it’s plugged into the wireless bridge as well.

Finally are my everyday use laptop and my Nokia N810 internet tablet.  Both see daily use on my wireless network.
