Can I network a hard drive?

[Lepard]

I have two 200GB Western Digital HDDs that I use primarily for storage and for sharing with networked computers. However, when my main PC is turned off I cannot access the files im sharing.

My question is, can I network a PATA hard drive and have it always accessible as long as my router is on?
