Shared Network Drives

About

Because the MinIT6000 has limited internal storage, it might be necessary to attach to a shared network drive to save things such as documents and email attachments. However, to do so, the pc/server must be available to the LAN (via local or wide area network connection) and have local drives that are set up for Microsoft network sharing.
