Re: Access to hard drives over a network

So how is USB converted to ethernet?

It isn't, really. When you connect the drive to a computer on the network, it becomes just like any other drive on the network. If you set it up for sharing, you can access it from other computers on the network whether they're wireless or wired. But the drive has to be connected to a computer on the network.

There are drives (drive enclosures, really, with a drive pre-installed) that have an Ethernet port and an IP address. You can (in theory - I don't have have one so I've never tried it) connect it to a port on your network router and access it from any other computer on the network via its IP address.
