    I've just bought a Maxtor OneTouch II (300GB) external drive. I intend to buy a "Linksys Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 hard drives" and was wondering can i connect the Linksys link to the Caymen WIFI Modem (Eircom supplied) to enable me to access the OneTouch via WIFI? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi amax...

    This the yoke your are talking about...?

    http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=307213&cks=PLS

    Does you Caymen WIFI modem have a built in hub/switch? Because both the storage link and your PC needs a central network connection, you will need a switch (more intelligent than the older hubs)

    Best bet would be to get an Eircom netopia wireless router which has 4 network port sockets...plug your wired PC into it, plug the linksys storage into another. I havent seen these units in operation, but it will get an IP address from the router. You will probably have to share folders and map a drive letter to them. Look up the manual online to seehow it operates exactly.

    Because the netopia is wireless, if you have a wireless laptop, you will be able to access the linksys because it's all TCP/IP linked over the network.

    Sounds like a good idea to me to have network attached storage, NAS, means you could have a hard drive on your network but physically hidden in a safe or sumthin'!!!
