1. How can I connect 3 Mobile MiFi dongle to home plug
  
  I think what you need is a router that will connect to the Mi-Fi via a wireless connection. Not sure how many there are, most seem to only allow WAN via a wired port. I'll keep my eyes open for one. BTW - what Mi-Fi device do you have?

2. How can I connect 3 Mobile MiFi dongle to home plug
  
  I bought one of these the otherday: Edimax 6218N (BTW this EBay shop was the cheapest I found) I have my iPhone 4 pluged into the USB port, and a 3G tethering plan on the phone. The router then provides the tethered phone connection to any device you have connected via it's Wi-Fi. The router...

3. Manual Format of HDD
  
  As posted in another thread my HDD got corrupted again. I've run fix-disk, and it seems to be error free now. Smarttools are also happy. BUT - It won't format via the Humax Menu - reporting the drive is too big (standard Humax HDR T2 1TB drive) I did have this issue before, but can't...

6. Firewall? Or at least checking logs
  
  Hi all, My NAS box sometimes gets hits from the internet on its open ports, but is set to block after 5 invalid hits. Is there any way the Hummx can be set to do similar, or at least log any incoming requests? I know its something that should be done on the router, but it's pretty old and...

  Also - if you have a mouse scroll wheel, just hold CTRL down and scroll the wheel slowly. It should zoom in / out, may depend on you driver settings though.

  Yeah it's very useful. Especially if you run silly Resolutions (I'm on 1600 x 1200). Works in most OS too; Windows / Ubuntu / Mac - I think? - I should know in a few weeks for sure:D

  You misunderstand. My USB HDD is 3TB, partioned as 1TB EXT3 and 2 TB NTFS. The Humax sees them as 2 separate drives. But the problem is it can not format its own 1TB internal drive!

  Well copying the files to a directly plugged USB was more problematic than I thought. Some stuff would copy, then it would bomb out saying the HDD was full. So to cut the story short - I plugged the 3TB USB drive into my PC and FTP'd the lot over to the HDD. It took a while! So now when I...

  Thanks for that! The MD5 check sums appear to match, so fix-disk and the library files seem to be ok. I ran e2fsck on sda3 and that was fine, so the only errors now are on sda2. I think I'll get a big USB drive and copy everything over and reformat TBH.

  Not sure if fix-disk is running correctly. I run ./fix-disk and it ask if I'm sure (Y/N) If I reply 'Y', it looks like it aborts. If I type 'yes', I just get an endless screen of 'y' scrolling up. Is that whats supposed to happen, the Wiki pages says it reboots into maintenance mode?
