Since I don't understand what a peer to peer or ad hoc network is, does this make this setup one. Because the only limitation is that the Fire will not connect to either of these two type of networks.
Right, but your device still has to have the ability to access remote drives. I don't think the Fire will do that. My Xoom won't do that, nor my DroidX using straight Android. There might be an app of some kind that would allow it, but I'm not familiar with one off the top of my head.
