file sharing
To copy music files from your PC to your digital entertainment center across your home
network (see “copying music from a networked PC” on page 33), you must enable file
sharing on your digital entertainment center.
The default setting is to have file sharing disabled. If your digital entertainment center is not
protected from the Internet (by, for example, a router that serves as a firewall), you may wish
to keep file sharing disabled while you’re not using it, to keep outside users from accessing
your digital entertainment center.
To enable file sharing:
1 From the settings menu, select Network Settings, then select Advanced network
settings.
2 Select Modify advanced settings, then select Enable file sharing.
3 Specify your network’s workgroup name. Select Done to accept the default
(WORKGROUP) or select Edit and use the onscreen keyboard to make changes.You
can find your home network’s workgroup name in your PC’s network settings.
To disable file sharing, select Disable file sharing.
