Giving the Projector Access to the
Network
Sometimes users may wish to use the projector as a client up access a
remote system on the network. This is convenient, for example, when
sharing “meeting minutes.” Or if a server is set up between the office
subnet and the projector subnet as shown on page 31, users will need
to use the projector to download their presentations from the server.
Follow the steps below to configure each system the projector needs to
be able to access, and then register it on the projector.
Configuring a PC to Share Files
Whether you’re setting up a server or individual PC, you’ll first need
to make sure it’s named so that it can be identified on the network.
Then you’ll need to set it up for file sharing and choose the drives or
folders you want to make available to the network.
1. Make sure the PC is already connected to the network and
running Microsoft networking over TCP/IP. The computer
should be able to communicate with the projector; you can check
this as described in “Testing the Network Connection” on
page 51.
2. Open the Network properties dialog box:
■
Windows 95, 98, NT: Right-click
Network Neighborhood
and select
Properties
.
■
Windows 2000: Right-click
My Computer
and select
Properties
.
