@Kris - there is no similar method for the Pogoplug - it does not support samba, so you cannot use it without an Internet connection
I have a seagate Dockstar , which has never been activated on the internet.
but it is connected to my home network and i can access it from all computers at
home, using a special .ceid file . This method is posted on Crunchgear.com.
My Question is if Pogoplug can be used in a similar manner without internet
access? i am sure some guru here might provide us a way.
Thanks

Any plans for future samba support built-in to the Pogoplug - without having to "hack" it? I've got a Dockstar and I find for my needs it is much easier to map a drive especially from Linux(also Windows 7) using the samba method. I use it primarily for backup purposes and only access it locally most of the time. Of course when away, I use the app to map drives.
I'm not averse to tinkering with adding third-party samba support to my Pogoplug, but what support options are there if it gets "bricked"?

If you provide Samba support , we will be free from that flaky Windows Drive Application and you will see complaints from your users come down a lot.
Anyway, why cant you provide support for Samba??
You are doing it with Seagate Dockstar, and it seems to
be doing a great job. A thousand times better than the Drive Application
you have now.

Bit of a late reply, but I have enabled Samba on my Pogoplug using the following instructions, works great!...

This is the method described in Crunchgear for Dockstar.
Plug your USB drive into your computer, format it (preferably with NTFS) and
create a file on it named .ceid
Using notepad, or your favorite text editor, put these lines in the file
(replacing yoursharename with a name of your own choosing). Note the mode=rw
allows reading and writing.
servicename=yoursharename
xcode.metadata=never
xcode.thumbnail=never
xcode.stream=never
cifs.mode=rw
Plug the usb drive into the Dockstar, and you're all set. The drive will be
available as
\\fadsMMMMMM\yoursharename (where MMMMMM are the last 6 letters and numbers
of the Dockstar's mac address, which is on the label on the bottom).
CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE A SIMILAR METHOD FOR POGOPLUG??
