External Hard disk drive wireless usage

[djt0506]

Hi all. Im thinking of purchasing an external hard disk (200GB - iomega). The one im talking about can be found directly here:

i have a wireless network set up in my house. Me and my da have laptops. I was just wondering if it would be possible to use this hard disk as a wireless storage hard disk so that we can both access the hard disk wirelessly. And also what would it take to do this? does the hard disk have to be constantly connected to an always on computer to be able to be accessed wirelessly by the other 2 laptops?




Thanx all forumin advance.

but you can get something called NAS wchich is network attatched storage, it is basically a HDD with a network port, so you connect it to your router
