using Microsoft network settings. You must be running Microsoft Windows 2000,
XP, or older versions of Windows with File and Printer Sharing enabled. You can use
normal Explorer operations such as drag and drop, file open, or cut/paste files.

default.

Microsoft Windows should be listed. If not, click Add and follow the installation
prompts.
