Hey guys!
Just a quick question probably sounds really stupid but...
Ive recently bought a netgear wireless usb print server (2usb for 2 printers), i have used 1 usb for my printer to make it networked , but I have got a Western Digital hard drive (external) and was wondering if there was anyway of connecting it to the print server to make it network :S
silly question i kno
lol

Give it a try I dont think it will work as the printserver wont deal with data fast enough to run a hard drive and accessing it could be dificult as if you try to access the ip address then you will just get the print server config page and a few other stumbling blocks.
but what do you have to loose?
give it a go and see if it works.0
