Hi can some one tell me the difference between a/point of a network hard drive and a normal hard drive(both external). Thanks

A Nas drive (Network attached storage ) can be in a diiferent room attached to your router and it will show up on you pc. An external hard drive has to be connected directly to your pc via usb or firewire.

So a Nas is better for steaming. Can any computer add/delete things from it. Can i connect to it from a remote computer. Sorry for all the questions.

You can set it up so only the computers on your network you want can access it. Cool things you can do with a NAS drive | News | TechRadar UK (http://www.techradar.com/news/networking/routers-storage/cool-things-you-can-do-with-a-nas-drive-482552)
