How can I connect a desktop to an external storage device that is already connected to another device?
I have a laptop that is connected wirelessly to a Belkin 4 port usb hub. I have a Maxtor 500 gb external storage device, printer, pocket pc, and hd camcorder already plugged into the hub. I want to connect my desktop into the hub to be able to use the external storage device between the laptop and the desktop. What do I need to do this?
Two possible ways
a) I am sure the Maxtor 500 GB has some s/w associated with it (that helps manage it, mount it, etc.). So, run that s/w on your desktop and it should be able to find the Maxtor NAS on your network.
b) If the Maxtor is already mounted on the pocket PC. Create a home Lan and you should be able to see the NAS via the pocket PC.
However, method a) should be the preferred way
