[icon-discuss] Re: Windows XP

Hi,
If you are talking about having the computer see the shared folders on the
Braille+/Icon; the easiest way is to first get the IP address from your
Braille+ or Icon.
When your Wireless is connected, on the Braille+/Icon, launched the Network
Manager under the Internet menu: 4,4.
Then arrow to your connection and hit the menu key.
Select details.  The second item should be the IP address.
On your computer, hit Windows-Key+r and in the Run dialog type two back
slashes, followed by the IP address.
Once you do that, you will be seeing your shared folders.
At that point, hit the application key and select create a shortcut.  It
will put that shortcut on the desktop.
Then, you may want to edit the shortcut if you have more than one shared
folder, as the shortcut will point directly into which ever folder had
focus.  So, if you shared the library folder, it will be something like
192.168.1.100/library
just take off the word library in the shortcut properties and you will have
a shortcut that takes you to the list of shared folders.
 
I hope that helps.
 
Richard

Can someone tell me where to go in XP to have the computer look for shared
folders?
In Vista it is a piece of cake.
