Can you get to it from Windows as a normal file sharing drive, through the wired Ethernet jack, not just through wifi?

connect it to a USB port. if you get prompted for an "action choice," select "open folder to view files" or something like that. if not, open explorer (Win) and access the drive manually. drag and drop files to/from it.

No, it definitely won't be *exactly* as if it was plugged in. When plugged in, Windows is going to view it as a drive, assign it a drive letter, and allow you to copy files to it via copy/paste, drag/drop, etc. I haven't confirmed it, but I can all but guarantee it won't work that way when accessing it via WiFi from your PC. In fact, my guess is, you can view content, but not alter it via WiFi. again, I haven't tried, but that would be my guess. If I get a chance, I'll try and let you know.

Yes, you can use this device to connect to Ethernet port, then a USB cord with two male ends to connect to your drive.

If you have another PC/Laptop which has DVD drive, you can share that drive with your NC10 on the local network. It's pretty easy to do, especially if your PC runs vista. XP isn't hard either.

No you cannot connect to ethernet. you can connect to WIFI only. This is a portable device why would you tie it down with a cable?

Not as a standard option, the connections are but drives are not, if you are willing to access the Linus O/S then here is a link to consider: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/encrypted-filesystem

Yes, you can access the files using the same IP Address method you would with mobile devices. However, it would typically make more sense to plug the dive into your laptop to play the files. It is an external hard drive remember. But I guess if you had multiple laptops to share it with at one time the wifi mode would be best.

Not directly. It can be used wireless if you have a router that allows USB drives to be plugged in.

As long as you hard wire (ether net) the Buffalo Link Station into your wireless router, you can share the drive over any device on your Wi Fi network, wired or wireless. You can even share the drive over the internet with the proper setup.

You could hook it up to a your router with wireless and anyone connected, wired or wireless will be able to access it (No extra software needed). The LinkStation will show up as a normal network location. And to be extra clear, for windows, it shows up as a networked computer where you can just browse just like any other folder on your own computer. It can be easily password protected as well.

Yes! It is Wi-Fi enabled and you can transfer the files via wi-fi either from your home network or from a remote place with Internet access!

The unit itself is plugged directly into the router via an ethernet cable. Other computers on your network can access the files via wifi also over the internet.

Yes, networked with ethernet port. We're using it in an environment with Windows7 pc's (and a few straggling XP PC's)

Yes you can if it connects by USB. You can also connect over a network if the drive is shared and skip the wires.
