Can twonky be used without a computer in the network?

Hi,
maybe a stupid question, but still.
I have a WLAN and can attach a hard disk directly to the router (Fritzbox) via an USB interface.
I have a Noxon 2 Radio for iPod. The fact that I can listen to music from the web without running the computer is great! I hate the vent sound...
I know that I can attach the "music"-harddisk directly to the Noxon via USB, but I'd love to have the search abilities which Twonky gives me, which is not the case when the Computer is not running in parallel.
Therefore:
Is there a way to run "my" Twonky by installing it on a server of a internet provider and make it contact my harddisk locally and then sent the stream to my Noxon via WLAN. Under no circumstances must my harddisk be readable to outsiders as this might lead to copyright claims.
Thanks for any thoughts,
Franzi
