Living Room / Networks and external drives
« on: February 09, 2010, 04:42 PM »
Hi,
I'm on Windows 7.
All of my data is kept on an external drive, and everything else is on my laptop.
But, this is very new to me. I keep forgetting that the drive is there, and dropping it when I pick up my laptop.
Maybe it's because I've been on laptops for 7 years without one, and 3 months with one, I don't know.
Although it happens much less frequently now, I'm still forgetting it.
It's happened so many times now, that the USB ports in my VAIO are actually getting loose.
Is it possible to set up a wireless network with just laptop and and external hard drive?
Or, should I hook up one 6 ft. USB extension cord to another, to another?
Perhaps someone out there has a better idea than either of these?
Thanks in advance
