Chapter 5 Windows Explorer
Configuration Tips Since the user can configure Windows Explorer in many ways, this section
describes known setting requirements and issues seen with the use of Windows
Explorer.
• FTP clients must use PORT mode connections
• Enable FTP Folder View
This option is enabled by opening the Internet Explorer options, select the
Advanced Tab and make sure the option is checked.
• Windows Explorer opens two connections to the NetBurner module when
it accesses a file. On completion of the operation, it returns one of those
connections. To regain all the connections, all instances of Windows
Explorer must be closed. No other FTP clients have been discovered that
behave in this inappropriate manner. The total number of concurrent
sessions on the NetBurner is five, after which time, no additional
connections can be made until some are returned.
The exhaustion of connections typically shows up as an error message that
the file could not be opened, the page could not be displayed, or a request
for a user login and password.
• FTP transfers are Anonymous. Do not enter a password if prompted.
• Cached Internet Files need to be refreshed on each access, otherwise
changing data in reports will not be automatically refreshed. In Internet
Explorer 8, select Tools >Internet Option>Browsing History>Settings.
Select “Check for Newer Version of Stored Pages”: “Everytime I visit the
Webpage”.
• If experiencing issues with transferring files and programs, ensure the
network settings of your Ethernet Adapter are configured correctly. Items
to consider are “Flow Control” and “Speed & Duplex” which can be set to
“Auto”.
