can this be hooked up to my LAN so I can back up more than one computer?

No. Not directly. This drive has USB 3.0 only. There are other models (pro family) that have USB and eSATA. If you want Network Attached you need to look at their NAS family. Specs for all of their products are located here: http://iosafe.com/products

I can access it through my wireless Blu ray DVD player since it is hooked up to my computer as an external hardrive and can view home movies that I have on there. Not sure if that answers your question, but that is the only way I have used it with wireless.

Sorry, its USB 3.0/2.0 only. The only way to get it on the network would be to connect to a computer and then create a share.

This Model is for one computer thru the USB Port, You could share from one computer to by the NAS (Network Access Storage) Model to setup on a network rather than USB.

To do this with hardware, you need a switch that can do "port mirroring", which you probably won't find for cheap. You could also do the gateway trick omer suggested, which is of course free, but then if your PC goes down, so does your network.

The two Thunderbolt connections are for daisy chaining with other Thunderbolt devices. You can share the drive on the network but you would not be able to connect two computers to this drive at the same time.

If you plug in any drive or add to nas it would work. Make sure all drives are same speed but I wouldn't. It's not a good idea. Use internal drives for nas

I am not sure, but I would like to think why not use it for back up of any computers.

I understand that you can, in theory, but have read experts who advise against it. I use mine to back up Macs (which it does perfectly), but have a separate arrangement for PCs.

Several...Depends on your storage needs. If u max out storage on 1 PC, there won't b room for 2nd PC. However...it worked first few times & now it only works after I plug & unplug it several times. VERY ANNOYING. I had an older version of this product & it worked perfect. This, newer, device is going back ASAP. Also, this does not backup "everything" as someone else mentioned. If you hav files it does not recognize (I.e. files with an extension it does not recognize - like I have - you have to know to TELL it to back up files with this extension).

this doesn't have it's own network adapter. Unless the USB external drive has a network adapter don't believe that will work. Sorry :(

The answer is no. This card is designed to replace an older 100 mbs network card or to add in a new system. There is no way that two (2) of these cards could be linked together in order to operate as a single network card. If you install two (2) of these cards on your system, you will have the choice to use one or the other. That is one possibility. The other is that the two cards may conflict will each other making it impossible to access the internet.

Yes, it can powered all the drives at same time. But this can't use as network media server.

You can in a sense, basically have multiple NAS systems chained through a router

You can hook the network cable into the 10/100 port on your computer and it acts as a separate network connection. If the second drive is USB, there is a connection on the duo for another expansion USB drive. Hope this helps.

I use this Buffalo Link Station Pro Duo to back up both a PC and two MacBooks and it works fine for me. You could use your Time Capsule in addition to this if you would like at the same time. See the Apple & Buffalo web sites for details.

yes, it is easy to map as a network drive.I have mapped it to both Windows 7 and 8, as well as Linux

You should be able to hook up two computers. Should it not work, try hooking it up to another device to see if it works, if it doesn't, maybe you have a defective cable.

It will back up the computer it is connected to and the files you identify for backup. I don't think you can partition the Clickfree drive so all your files from 2 or more computers would be lumped together. I prefer a separate backup for each computer.
