The Map Network Drive window will appear.

2.In the Folder (or Path) box enter the IP address of your Network Storage Link, followed by Disk 1 using this format: \\IP address\Disk 1.

For example: \\192.168.1.77\Disk 1

Note: Make sure there is a space between “Disk” and “1” in the IP address.

Note: If you changed the IP address in

the “Formatting the OneTouch Drive” Figure 6. Entering IP Address of Network Storage Link section on page 3, be sure to enter that

address here.

Note: Reconnect at logon is automatically selected. This means that every time you logon in the future, you will automatically be connected to your OneTouch drive. You will find it alongside your computer’s main disks (C and D, for example) in the My Computer window.

3.Click Finish.

Windows will search the available networks for your Network Storage Link and a window will open displaying the contents of the Disk 1 directory on your OneTouch drive.

Note: Two directories are automatically created for you on your OneTouch Drive. The Admin 1 directory is set up for only the administrator to use and will require a User ID and Password to be entered by any user accessing it from a computer other than the administrator’s. The Disk 1 directory, however, does not require a User ID or Password. You may create password-protected directories for additional users. See Chapter 6: “Configuring the Storage Link” in the Linksys User Guide for more information.

Your OneTouch drive is now ready for use as a networked drive. You may drag and drop files to it, just like a normal hard drive.
