Ya, it's called a NAS or Network Attached Storage.

Yep. It's called NAS (Network Attached Storage). The drive appears as a shared network drive to Windoze. I use those instead of USB and Fireware external drives.

Be sure to read the reviews and note the performance differences. Some NAS drives are slower than a snail.

If your ancient desktop is running W95/W98/ME, you're going to have problem. Consider upgrading the laptop before buying a bigger dumpster.
