SETUP AND ADVANCED FEATURES – 191
Network Share Server Settings
Must be set to On for each operating system to enable access to an attached USB
drive via the local network. See “Transferring Files” on page 31 for information and
instructions.
Workgroup
Allows the media player to join an existing Samba (CIFS/SMB) workgroup on your
network. Computers and devices in the same workgroup may allow each other
access to their files. To join a workgroup, enter the Workgroup Name then press OK.
Proxy
Proxy is used by corporations to view and filter online transactions. All requests in
the corporate environment go through a proxy server to perform such actions as
recording the IP address of a web site, checking the IP address that is being opened
to make sure it’s not on a blocked list, and checking outgoing attachments for spam
or viruses.
If you plan to use the media server in a corporate environment, select On, then enter
the Proxy address and port using the on-screen keyboard to access online services.
Clear Saved Network Share Login
Use this menu to clear login information (preset password) for the network share.
Linux Share (NFS) Support
Use this menu to turn Linux share (NFS) support on (this option set to Off by
default).
Linux Shares
Linux shares use NFS, which is popular with power users and Linux users because
of the increased speed and performance it can provide. NFS is better suited to Linux
since using NFS with Windows requires installation of third party applications.
Follow the steps under “Accessing a Shared Folder” on page 30, selecting the name
of your NAS device or computer and referencing your NAS device or operating
system documentation for password setup and administration if necessary.
