I was wondering if it's possible to connect an external USB harddrive to the Airport Express connector and access it wirelessly ?
Anyone knows how to do that?
Thanks, Tom

I would like to access music files on this external HD from both my laptops from anywhere within the house? Why is that pointless?dpaanlka said:I don't think anybody has tried that, since it would be relatively pointless.
Now there's a way to encourage people to help you in the future. Perhaps no-one spotted it who knew the answer...Tomaz said:Well, thanks for the answers everyone, you saved my day !![]()

And no, you can't. The USB port will charge an iPod or work with a printer but not with a HD.
Either that, or build (or buy) a cheap used computer, throw a copy of Windows server on it, connect the hard drive to it and share the drive over the network. That's the solution I chose.Tomaz said:Well it worked with you![]()
Thanks for the answer, so it seems I have to get a ethernet ready HD and connect it to my router in order to have the same effect.
Thanks again.![]()
Would be a solution, but i swore (no myself) to never allow a windoze computer in my household anymore. Mini's are cheap though...hmmmDannySmurf said:Either that, or build (or buy) a cheap used computer, throw a copy of Windows server on it, connect the hard drive to it and share the drive over the network.

That's actually a pretty good idea!!panoz7 said:...
If you're really set on a mac, buy an old G3 or G4 tower and use that. There's more internal space then in a mini, you can put a PCI raid card in, and the whole thing will be pretty cheap.
