6. To allow file sharing, select
Enable
in the File Server field.
When this feature is enabled, all of the files on the USB drive are available as Windows Shared
Files to other devices on the local area network (LAN). Shared files are not available to clients on
the Internet outside of the local network.
7. In the Domain Name field, specify the network name.
This feature allows a computer on the LAN to access the shared files with a name rather than the
IP address. The Host Name displays in the Windows Network on local network computers. Files
can be accessed with the routers IP address (for example, \\192.168.15.1), the hostname (for
example, \\dslrouter), or the link in the network neighborhood.
8. In the File Sharing Users section, specify user names and passwords for access to network file
shares.
With this feature, anyone who tries to access the files on the USB device must enter a user name
and password. Each user can be set to read only or have write access to the files on the USB
drive. Existing passwords cannot be viewed. You must change it if it is forgotten.
