Yep... it's called ad-hoc mode.

As far as the jet direct is concerned... I have no idea... I suspect not, but I don't know for sure.

 

Yes - AdHoc mode. Can be a bit of a pig to get going on some cards.

No - wrong protocols and sockets! Jetdirect boxes have parallel ports, which won't run a hard drive!

Harry.

 

WPA doesn't support AdHoc mode , so you have to make sure WPA2 is supported with your adaptors or drop down to less secure WEP
