Hey, I found a topic that doesn't seem to be answered yet! :eek: ;)
I found several threads about utilizing the USB interface, like the IDC, inserting a hub, using USB memory sticks or USB HDDs etc. I went on considering whether it would be worth purchasing a USB WLAN adapter to log onto IDC and this thought led to another: would it be possible to read MIDI files from my home computer?
Despite the danger of sounding like a nerd or a geek (and not to forget that the first impression never wears out), I decided to ask if anyone's been thinking of a following setup. I am using mine here as an example:
I recently upgraded our home PC and two of the purchases I did at that time are relevant here; 1) included with the new motherboard came a WLAN card which can work as a base station for a WLAN network; 2) an external ADSL modem with a router, currently connected only to the home PC (and, of course to the Internet).
In case I will buy the USB WLAN adapter for the CVP-301 and setup the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) option in the XP SP2 on our home PC, I believe the IDC would work OK. But now you can notice that I would have actually built up a WLAN network where the CVP-301 has been connected to our home PC!
So, my question is: the same way as the CVP-301 can read from the USB connected floppy drive and the USB memory stick and the USB hard drive, is it possible to read from the home PC's hard drive that is behind the USB WLAN? Two prerequisites must be taken into account:
1) the ICS must probably be disabled from the PC
2) there must be some default folder set up in the home PC where the CVP-301 is accessing.
Hence, instead of
downloading the free MIDI files, styles, whatever you need to download to the home PC
AND copying them to a floppy/USB memory stick/USB whatever
AND plugging it into the CVP
AND backing up your creations in the CVP
AND moving them to the USB device
AND uploading them to the computer
This everything could be done simply this way
- download the free MIDI files, styles, whatever you need to download to the home PC
- access the files from the CVP by using the WLAN network
- upload your creations from the CVP to the home PC by using the WLAN network
No more extra USB storing devices, moving files back and forth between CVP and the home PC and managging different versions in different devices. One single storage and that would be your home PC's hard drive.
How's that sounding? And no, I am not an engineer working at the Nokia, I did my Master of Science in Economics and I'm working in the banking business ;)
