FireBall to PC Networking Basics

Overview

With the new Network File Sharing feature built into FireBall, you can now access your FireBall from your PC using your home network. Having access to your FireBall allows you to do things like backup your music files, import music files from your PC to your FireBall, remotely control your FireBall from your PC, and share your FireBall based music with iTunes (including Apple iPod support) and other PC music players such as Windows Media Player, MusicMatch, WinAmp, and Rio Media Manager. This document will explain how to do all of these things using your PC and your FireBall over your home network.

Requirements

In order to connect to your FireBall, you will need to have your FireBall and PC on the same
