New Category - Networking..?

[mvmanolov]

Does anyone else want a new category in the Hardware section called "Networking"?

We had a discussion about this a few years ago (before I was a moderator) and it's not going to happen.

Separate AirPort/Networking forum

Networking is a great topic and shouldn't just be limited to Apple product. Given the new world of gadgets and home theater, there are many ways to achieve an optimal set up and of course, the chance to end up with dismal failures in set up.

Given there are Mac computers, i-devices, ATV, AVR, and more - there is plenty that can be discussed. As for a new Forum, that is up to MacRumors and in the meanwhile, people certainly have and do bring in questions without such a dedicated forum.

I'm all for it. I'm currently (slowly) setting up a home movie server, with the ability to run wireless backups, and be a shared drive for all our computers and it is definitely trickier than I thought to set it up. And as some of the things I want to do with it (web-accessable, stream to devices, etc), are not really "home theater" type setups, if feels like that thread would not be a great place for it.
