You may take a look at your computer's name in the properties. I found that one of my computer names was in all caps, and the other had the first letter capped. You might also look in your My Network places at the properties of a network folder you are trying to access, that will tell you just what to enter if you are trying to enter the location manually. Only difference, you'll see backslashes in Windows, use forward slashes instead.

Chris, it sounds like you also just pinged your unit and mapped a folder. How did you set up a new folder. I have tried this in all the ways I can think of by changing my work group name to family and by typing in the twoslashes and paul in caps, two slashes and paul Henrichsen with the P and theH capitalized, two slashes and Music with the M capitalized. I am told that the share name was invalid. I even tried "//PAUL//USERS//Paul Henrichsen//Music" without any success. Going into windows explorer, it doesn't see my braille plus as a network drive. So, I am not sure how to map it if there isn't anything there.Looking at the details of my connection shows that I am connected with an ipaddress of 192.168.1.103. I haven't pinged it yet at that address to see what happens.All of the other computers in my house can see my vista network and that ofmy wife's computer without any problems. -----Original Message----- From: icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris G Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 1:18 PM To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: file sharing and vista Hi, I'm using vista and i am able to connect to my icon using file sharing. I changed the workgroup name to match all others on my network, then went to tools map network drives and my icon music folder is now drive x.

I did that last night. I followed Jenny's instructions. I just get a connection error. It seems to be an endless loop until I press cancel to stop it.Unfortunately, I think Jenny is using xp and not vista when she sets up hersharing folders.

Are there any instructions yet for setting up file sharing on a vista computer? I have folders Shared on my computer, but am not sure how to set up the braille plus. Everything I have tried so far gives me an error when trying to connect. So far, I have tried "//PAUL/My Music" and "//PAUL/Users/My Music" Without success. Any instructions you can pass along?
