I am having a similar situation and the addonics products I think will do the job. I am also looking to connect a spare 500 GB drive to the network. Came across a bunch of usb to ethernet adapters, but somehow didnt feel they wud do the job. Thanks Awesome suggestion Brian.

The hard drive has to act as a NAS (Network Attached Storage). Basically that means the box that you're connecting to the LAN has to have in it, in addition to the hard drive, a simple computer that can handle network file-transfer protocols, such as FTP, NFS, SMB, etc.<br><b>References : </b><br> No. You need more than simply connecting the hard drive to the LAN.
