Major Features of Square One Personal Internet Server

High Capacity Network Drive

Square One's internal 320GB or 200GB hard drive provides convenient backup and storage for all the computers on your network (Windows, Mac OS, or Linux). Easily share videos, photos, music and other files between computers, without having to set up file sharing on each PC. To help with backups, Square One comes with award-winning Memeo software that instantly and automatically backs up your valuable files from Windows PCs to Square One. Best of all, Square One's exclusive Web Drive software gives you password-protected, direct access to your files remotely from any Internet-connected PC.

Broadband Router

Square One's built-in router lets you share a single Internet connection with all the computers in your home or small office. You can connect up to four computers to MyServer using the integrated 10/100 Mbps switch. To connect additional clients, just add an external switch or a wireless access point.

Square One also acts as a hardware firewall, protecting your network from intrusion by malicious Internet hackers. Network Address Translation (NAT) technology hides your computers from the Internet by assigning them private IP addresses, while Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) blocks illegitimate communications before they ever reach your desktop. Plus, you can set up outbound firewall rules to protect your computer users from accessing dangerous or inappropriate services on the Internet. For advanced users, a special DMZ port lets you run public servers behind the firewall without compromising the security of the rest of the network.

Printer Sharing

With its USB port and integral print server, Square One turns an inexpensive USB printer into a shareable, IP-based printer. You'll be able to print from any computer on the network as if the printer were directly attached to it--without having to use cumbersome PC-based printer sharing.

Web Server

Have you ever wanted your own blog or website, but didn't want to pay monthly hosting fees? Or you didn't have the time or inclination to set up your own web server? Then Square One is the perfect solution for you. Despite its small size, Square One is a potent web server. With Apache, PHP, and MySQL all preinstalled, Square One is ready to serve up even the most advanced Web sites, right out of the box. And thanks to the built-in Dynamic DNS updater, you can use a domain name with Square One, even without a static IP address!

Network Card Reader

Square One features a built-in memory card reader that supports CompactFlash (Type I, II & III), MicroDrive, Secure Digital (SD), MMC, xD, Memory Stick, MS Pro, and SmartMedia cards. Insert a memory card into Square One, and you can access its contents from any computer on the network. Square One can even back up the contents of a memory card to its internal hard drive automatically upon insertion.
