Step 1: Make your files and folders available to the network

You may have set up file sharing on your computers when you set up the base station and adapter. If you did not set up file sharing when you set up your hardware, you can enable it by using the Windows operating system. You can also use Windows to change or further refine the settings you selected during Setup. For more detailed instructions and information about sharing files and folders, see Windows Help.

Note If you have Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you need to have sufficient privileges (or be the network administrator) to share folders with others. For more information, look up “administrator” in Windows Help.

File and folder sharing is configured from the computer that contains the files and folders you wish to share. You can share an entire drive with the network, or you can share specific folders. For example, if you store photographs of your children in a folder named “Kids” on your computer, and you want to make the photographs available to your network, you can choose to share only the Kids folder.

Important Although you can share files, printers, and other devices on your network, you cannot share software programs, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel.
