Once the SimpleShare server is connected and powered on, you can begin using it to share files and data with other network

users immediately. However, if SimpleShare is installed on a complex network configuration that routes traffic to various network

segments (subnets) using gateways and routers, locating SimpleShare using its network name might be difficult without

assistance. In such cases, you can use NASFinder to locate your SimpleShare and perform basic configuration tasks like

renaming your SimpleShare, changing its administration username and password and mapping the shared folders on

SimpleShare to your computer.

Insert the NASFinder Quick Setup CD in the CD-ROM

drive on your computer. Depending on how your

computer is configured, NASFinder may launch

automatically. If NASFinder does not start automatically,

start it manually by clicking on the Start menu, and then

selecting the Run... option. In the Run dialog box, enter
x: nasfinder.exe (where x is the drive letter of the

CD-ROM drive), and then click

.
