Umm... not directly no, but nothing stops you from connecting it to a pc that's connected to the wireless router. What exactly is it you're trying to accomplish? There may be another way.\n\nEdit: Hmm, well I know that can be done if both computers are on the same network, and the drive is shared. Once they're in a network as long as the computer that the drive is attached to is running, the other person could go to start menu -> run and type &#92;&#92;whatevcerthecomputernameis and it would pop up, they could browse it just like it was one of thier drives. However networking really isn't my thing, so I can't explain it any better than that, unfortunately.

the PC can be connected via ethernet to the wireless router

the easiest way would be to network the 2 together with a router if you have one and transfer the files straight from one to the other.\n\nYou can also do the Removable media thing as stated above ie: CD, floppy etc.\n\nand lastly, you can email em to yourself or I like to icq or msn messenger them as well.\n\nany of those should do ya just fine..*S*

Set the jumpers on the drive to master (this is for any drive, not just for a WD).  Plug the power into it then connect the drive via your controller (I trust you mean external controller) to a USB port.  It should work fine.  As an extra hint, you can also use the external setup with a laptop drive - good capacity and much smaller.

you need to have windows 98SE or higher operating system.  Then you can definately get a USB wifi adapter or a PCMCIA port one.  The devices come with a driver/software disc, instructions and may have free techsupport.

If you have firewire, use that - it's fast.  I think if you use an ethernet cable, that should work also.  You just have to use the Windows Networking Wizard thing and it should be fine.

you can create a wireless network using a usb drive, simply go to the control panel (if you are using windows xp) and click create a new network, the rest is explained there.

My experience with Windows 98 machines is that USB or wireless is pretty hopeless.  If the machine doesn't have Ethernet, I'd recommend buying an inexpensive Ethernet card -- you can get them for less than $10.\n\nOnce you have Ethernet, any router will do to connect to DSL.  My favorite brand is Linksys.

set both machines up to use the same wireless channel/SSID and ensure that you choose the 'ad-hoc' mode of connection. Assuming that you have the right username/passwords set up on both machines ( If got mine with the same on each machine) and ensure that you are sharing disk drives , then you should be ok. Give it some time to connect , 60 seconds or so.

pcmcia would work better than usb.  get one with an external antenna and make a new one http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html\ncantennas have crazy range.  something i would try first though is get yourself a set of high gain antennas for your router, that may give you the boost you need, or get a repeater, that will take the wireless signal and boost it to get better range.  another thing you can try is change the wireless channel, it may be getting interference from a nearby access point or cordless phone or even wireless mouse, just play around with the settings and see what you can figure out.

Yes, but it is very slow and the cable is relatively epensive.  You can get a USB 2.0 cable that will do the same thing for about $40.  And it will do it much faster.\n\nThe best method is probably a wired or wireless network, though.

Nope, you need a wirless adaptor, USB adaptors are cheap, ($12 - 30 Bucks) try compusa, or tigerdirect.com

Buy a linksys wireless router and buy 2 or 3 usb wireless G NIC, (Network Interface Cards) and install the USB nic's on each PC by running the software, but first directly connect the router to the PC and set it up. Then move to the USB NIC, plug your cable or dsl modem into the router and if the modem is near to one PC you will only need 2 wireless USB NIC's. Linksys.com has all the answers

Try searching ebay for wireless media centers, although im not sure if they would do exactly what you need.
