I have just bought a device that stores data on a hard drive and can display the contents on my TV. The idea is to take the drive to a PC, load it with MP3, video, or .jpg and then plug it into the back of the TV. No problems ! The question is, what I'd like to try is, instead of taking the device to my PC, plug it into 'something' so that the PC can see the disk drive wirelessly. I can then leave it by the PC and just transfer files as if it were plugged into the PC via a USB cable. In a way the fact that it can be used to display on a TV is probably irrlevant, so has anyone tried using an external USB disk drive but instead of using a USB cable, connect it wirelessly? I don't think it would have an IP address so the thought of connecting it within my wireless network wouln't work. Any ideas ? Cheers
