FatMacMan - are you talking about sharing an external drive with your airport extreme like this?:

If so, then do this:

Sharing a USB hard drive
Once you’ve set up your wireless network, it’s easy to share files with everyone on your network by connecting an external hard drive to AirPort Extreme.

Connect the hard drive to the AirPort Extreme USB port.
Open AirPort Utility, select your base station, and click Manual Setup.
Choose Disks in the toolbar and enable file sharing in the File Sharing tab.

See this article: http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutor...ernal-usb-hard-drive-to-your-airport-extreme/

Hope this helps you :)
