Configuring File Sharing with Windows Vista:

File sharing over a network lets you access media files or folders on your PC, from your Cyclone MKV 2.

Navigate to the folder you wish to share over the network and select it, do not enter the folder.

Right click on the folder, and a small menu will appear near the mouse pointer. Select “Properties” from this menu.

A properties box will now appear. In this box click on the tab labelled “Sharing”.

Once in the sharing tab click on the “Advanced Sharing” button. This should bring up the Advanced Sharing window.

In this window, please ensure that the tick box for “Share this folder” has been ticked. This will enable other computers to access media files from it.

You may also want to set permissions for the folder. This will allow or prevent users from making changes to the media files.

To set permissions, click on the “Permissions” button. This will bring up the Permissions window.

In this window will be displayed the permissions, Full Control, Change and Read.
