Is it possible to hook up an external to my 2Wire Gateway and access it wirelessly with my notebook? Or do I need to get a Netcenter type (ethernet) of external?

I think they make a notebook hard drive in a case with a wireless card on it. So you can access it with any PC. Can't think of the name right off hand.

zazonz, you mean this?
ASUS WIRELESS HARD DRIVE
or this?
MAXTOR & LINKSYS WIRELESS HARD DRIVE -
That'd be the one.

So I can't do what I mentioned above??

I really hoped to avoid making the jump without knowing...but I think I'm going to pick between the following and hope for the best.

They do make USB to LAN adapters. I don't know how reliable or functional other brands are, but avoid the dLink ones by all means. I have their di-624s router and it doesn't work. Their customer support on this product really sucks too.

If your 2Wire Gateway has a free wired ethernet port, you can use this to bridge a couple of external USB drives onto your network:
