I have a (1) Seagate Technology 200 GB USB 2.0 and FireWire External Drive (ST3200823AR) and a (2) Linksys WET54G Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge.
I want to get rid of my old Dell CPU, since I now use laptop over the WiFi network. I keep all my music, etc. on the external drive.
Can I somehow network this hard drive so its directly accessible over the wifi network? Thank you!
How to network a non-network external hard drive?
The Linksys NSLU2 unit will connect to a USB drive and make it a network drive. The new versions support NTFS and FAT formatted drives (which is what Windows uses).
Reply:try making a server with apache
Reply:If you have a network, and it sounds like you do, why not use the old Dell as a server. Plug in the external drive into it and share it across your network. I have an old Win98 pc that I share 30GB of music with all (6) of my wired and wireless pc's. It works great, both for listening and for file transfers.
