I have an Ardunio Uno and a Grove board. I want to attach either a WiFi card or RJ45 adapter and connect it to my network.
I would then like to map a drive to an SMB share and perform operations on the files. This would primarily be counting the files and display this on the LCD screen I have on the Ardunio, but other operations might be useful.
Before I waste my time and cash, someone please tell me if this is even possible with the Ardunio, and if so is it easy enough for a dumpling like me to achieve? A pointer in the right direction if it is possible would be much appreciated too.

The Arduino is not a full-fledged PC that might handle ultra-complex network file systems. Forget about using an Arduino for such stuff. A Raspberry Pi might do what you try to achieve, the included Linux operating system is able to handle SMB shares (as well as other network file systems).
I get the feeling that this question will get a similar answer to the previous one, but would is there a way of connecting the Arduino to the network and then sending a message from a PC which the Arduino then displays on the screen? If I could easily do the number crunching on a server somewhere and then just send the details to the Arduino to show to the user. Again, I am just wanting someone to tell me if this would be possible and point me in the right direction.
It would be nice to use the hardware which I have to do this job, rather than having to buy a new Pi or the like.
