Network Shares
Typically, you will find the SnapGear appliance’s web cache most useful when utilizing a
Network Share
for additional storage space. The SnapGear appliance is not equipped
with a hard disk of its own, so is quite limited in terms of the amount of Internet objects it
can cache.
A network share is a shared folder or drive on a local Windows PC, or a PC running
another operating system capable of SMB sharing (such as a Linux PC running the
SAMBA service).
Refer to your operating system’s documentation for details on creating a network share.
What follows are some basic instructions for creating a network share under Windows
XP.
