Portable, Wireless File Server for the Car?
Kerhop wonders: "I'm looking to implement an off-site file storage location but want it to be convenient for me to access with the right security credentials by placing a portable file server in my car that has at 802.11b ability and is battery powered (but also recharged via cigarette lighter adapter). I've found the Sony FSV-PGX1. I am curious, though -- what solutions have others found?"
I have a Stompbox in my car...

It automatically boots up and links in to a cellular data service, turning itself into an access point. Turn on your laptop, join the network and voila -- you're on the net! It's just like using a hotspot (such as they have at Starbucks and airports), but it goes anywhere you car goes. Some people have even hauled them around in backpacks to make themselves into a walking network access site. (http://www.stompboxnetworks.com/)
I have been very happy with the service. I am considering putting a harddrive in it as it runs on a CF Card now.
It is only ON durning the day, but the website hosted in my trunk is http://honda.getmyip.com/
