Is it possible to connect a external hardrive to a wireless home network, and if so what devices will i need? i already have a wireless network card installed in my laptop and a connection to the home adsl hub.

I've not seen any wireless hard drive's. You must be able to get them? Do a search on google. The best thing to do is put a hard drive in an external case, you can get them with USB, Firewire or Netowrk connections. Personally I use USB because it's easy, but sometimes not very reliable. I've been wanting to try a Network hard drive, but havn't got round to it yet. However I don't think a network connection would be as fast as USB or Firewire. www.SVP.co.uk sell just about everything you need.

well it is something i will continue to look into anyway, my external hardrive is in a case with a usb port and power supply. and i usually plug into a pcmcia usb 2.0 card bus adaptor into my laptop. my laptop's usb ports are only usb 1.0. hoping to get a new laptop soon with usb 2.0 ports.
Thanks, Dave
p.s. my current laptop has only a 30gb hd, but the new one iam looking at has 200gb hd.
