USB Ethernet Adapter

[Aloos]

Could I use an USB ethernet adapter on an external drive and connect it to my network???

I'm afraid not. The only reason those adapters work on a computer is because of specialised drivers, and even if the hard drive somehow had those drivers it wouldn't have the protocols to use a network in the first place.

Yep you canna do it... you need a drive with built in ethernet capability OR something like the Linksys NSLU2...

Thanks for the replys guys. I look into the linksys unit.
