4. Accessing Files from HOMENAS – Windows

In Windows, data share locations can be accessed in two main ways. One is using

the “Network Neighborhood” or “My Network Places” functions within windows, and

navigating to the HOMENAS by searching for the hostname. Another way is to use

the “Run” command using the following instructions.

Click on the Windows Start button, select “Run” from the menu and a dialogue box as

shown will appear.

Type “\\Homenas” or current hostname in the field and click “OK”.

If you change the Homenas hostname, you will need to replace the word

“Homenas” with it. For example, if you changed your hostname to “FileServer”,

please type “\\FileServer” instead.

The Windows Explorer will appear and you should be able to see all the folders that

are shared under “SMB Server” in the HOMENAS web control interface menu.

Clicking on the corresponding folder will reveal the files in that folder.
