is turn one of the systems into a router by using additional NICs in on system
and have it connected to all of the VLANs. Or if they have/allow/support VLAN tagging
you could potentially do it all on the same nic though that may hinder network
performance if you’re trying to upload and download multiple files across
the same NIC at the same time. Either this server could handle the storage
itself or you could just use it as a router to bridge the VLANs together and
put the storage server on the segment of your choice. You’d likely need
to add static routes on each of the PCs that need access to this special
storage server.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>I work for a college that has a a
few video editing suites which are Macs and PCs, a production studio with a
graphics generator and a Leightronix Nexus video server. The vid server has a
large disk for storing video clips wich are uploaded either via some client
software installed on a networked PC or I belive it has an ftp server as well. <br>
The delema we have is since video files are quite large 10-40 gigs
a piece it would be nice to move these files to a central file server via the
network. I generally wouldent have a prolbem doing this however the IT dept is
less than coperative in providing us any solution at all. So I was wondering
how I could set up a file server on the network without broadcasting it to the
IT folks. I was starting down the path of building a vm on a large usb disk and
hanging it off of one of our office pcs but the Macs, PC's and the video server
are all on differnt VLANS, and thats where I hit the brick wall. Any
suggestions? short of turning it into a sneakernet.<br>
