The downside is that if you need to access it, that machine will have to be on (and not sleeping). @Scott:

My model is like this one: http://ucf.refreshelectronics.com/ProductInfo.aspx?id=4690065 I have successfully shared my printer over the network, but not my external hard drive. Both are plugged into a USB hub that is plugged into the base station. In the Airport Utility window, I don't see the "Disks" tab at the top of the Airport Utility window. The drive is definitely on. Thanks, Scott Do your “Sharing an external hard drive:” steps also apply to older models of the AirPort Base Station?

My model is like this one:
http://ucf.refreshelectronics.com/ProductInfo.aspx?id=4690065

I have successfully shared my printer over the network, but not my external hard drive. Both are plugged into a USB hub that is plugged into the base station.

In the Airport Utility window, I don’t see the “Disks” tab at the top of the Airport Utility window. The drive is definitely on.

Thanks,
Scott
