FireBall to PC Networking Basics
Overview
With the new Network File Sharing feature built into FireBall, you can now access your FireBall
from your PC using your home network. Having access to your FireBall allows you to do things
like backup your music files, import music files from your PC to your FireBall, remotely control
your FireBall from your PC, and share your FireBall based music with iTunes (including Apple
iPod support) and other PC music players such as Windows Media Player, MusicMatch,
WinAmp, and Rio Media Manager. This document will explain how to do all of these things
using your PC and your FireBall over your home network.
