Accessing a USB hard drive across a bridged/extended network using two airport extremes.

Here is my wifi network setup: One airport extreme (newest model) in the house connected to the internet by DSL modem. This airport is the one our network is set up on. Out in our detached office is a second airport extreme that connects wirelessly to the network and extends it as a roaming network. My iPod bounces back and forth between the two airports perfectly as I walk between home and office. Eventually (and soon) I plan to buy a MacBook to replace an aging PC desktop for work.

My question: While using the MacBook in the house accessing the internet through the home Airport, will I be able to access a USB hard drive connected to the Airport in the office?

Sorry this is so wordy, but I want to make sure i get this right at each step. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

Paul.

Is it possible to download media from itunes directly to the shared hard drive?

I'm going to buy an Airport extreme router and Apple TV, but I don"t want to have to buy another external hard drive. I'd like to take the external hard drive I already have connected to my computer and plug it into the Airport extreme router as a shared drive. I only use my external hard drive for downloading movies, TV shows and music I buy on itunes.

Accessing my network disk while on a different network?

I was wondering how I can access my wireless hard drive that I have plugged into my Airport Extreme from anywhere in the world? I have my entire internal hard drive backed up on the external disk and I would like to be able to access all of that information wirelessly from anywhere in the world.

Do I have to setup a server or how exactly can I do this?

Can I see my external hard drive if my laptop is configured to access network resources on a different Microsoft Domain?

My laptop is configured to my work domain, so when I join my hone network I can't share resources without logging in as a different user. Would I still be able to see the hard drive on the airport extreme if I used it as my home network wireless router given this configuration?

can airport extreme be set up for a remote access to access my external hard-drive when away from home?

I have music which I have put onto my external desktop hard-drive to save space on my macbook and I would love to be able to access that music or files (pictures) when away from home.
I realize there are some ext-hard-drives with this option for remote access,hoping to avoid that direction.

External Hard drive attached to AirPort Extreme Base Station questions ?

Hi,

A few questions below


1) What is the file system that the External Hard drives mounted via USB to the AirPort Extreme Base Station uses ?

Is it HFS ? I need network attched storage for HFS format to store iphoto libraries across computers without have both turned on . I have NAS support now for NTFS and EXT3 but iphoto does not work on those partition types very well.

2) If I set up the hard drive mounted via USB to the AirPort Extreme Base Station to have multiple partitions will all of those portions be seen by my MAC computers? I.e if I set up a partition for time machine of a macbook, a partition for a time machine of a mac mini, and then a third for data sharing will all be mounted and seen by the macs.

3) Can you rsync a hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme Base Station to another hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme Base Station if using a external hub . . I.e create a backup copy of the HFS drive .
