5.Whenever I enter my media folder , the internet radio rescans the content of the folder:
Although the folder with your music in it is shared , it is 'write protected', so the internet Radio cannot save a list of the
folder's content back onto the PC, as it needs to rescan each time.
Tick the box that allows the Folder to be modified across the network.
8.I can't share a folder, as the option is not highlighted:
The share folder option will not be available until you have turned simple file sharing on. Run the wizard.
Scan Error:
When the internet radio is scanning the content of the folders on a PC, it is possible that a scan error may occur
if the windows file sharing application times out. This is most likely to occur if both the PC with themedia content and
the Internet Radio are connected wirelessly.
Try re-connecting the PC with the media content into the network via cable. This will dramatically increase the speed
at which the Internet Radio is able to scan the content of the Media PC.
Playlists:
Some media ripping applications allow 'Playlists' to be created. The Internet Radio is able to detect and stream these
playlists, but they must be stored in the folder with the rest of the Media content and they must have the file extension.
m3u. Windows Media player can create suitable playlist, just select 'create new playlist', drag and drop the tracks
you want into the playlist, then use 'Save as' to ensure the file type is .m3u. (Existing play lists can be opened and
re-saved in this format)

4.You can see the PC you want to play music from, but cannot find any folders on the PC:
3.When you scan for PCS none can be found, or the PC you are looking for does not appear in the list:
Global File sharing is not enabled on the PC.
The PC you are looking for is in another part of the network separated by a router.(This may happen if you have two
access points on the same network, and the Media source is on one Access Point and the internet Radio is on
another).
The PC with the Media content may not have the same workgroup as the server managing the network. The easiest
solution is to change the PC workgroup nameto the same as that being supported by the server.
You have not connected to the wireless Access point. On the internet radio , select 'Configure', 'Network Configure',
'Select Network', 'Scan' and then select your Wireless network. (You may need to enter a security key to access the
network wirelessly).
You have not enabled simple file sharing on Windows 2000. In Windows 200 the simple file sharing can be turned on
by going to the Control Pane, selecting Folder options, view Tab. The safest way for users to enable the service is to
run the 'Set up a home or small office network' wizard from Control Panel, Network Connections.
You have a firewall set on your PC which is stopping you accessing shared files. Windows 2K doesn't come with a real
firewall so unless you have installed one this should not be a problem.
You have a third party firewall in your network, which is preventing file sharing.
If you have a third party firewall (Like Norton, or Zone Alarm) that will have its own control panel and you will need to
consult the manual for your firewall.
If your PC is connected to a managed network, with a server sometimes the PC being searched for needs to be server
Workgroup.
The folder which has your music in it is not shared. You will need to locate the file you want to share, right click on the
folder, and select 'Properties', Then tick share this file.
The folder is not in an accessible place, i.e. it is in, My music, My documents or on the Desktop. You will need to mode
the folder to the root directory.
You have entered the wrong user name or password for the PC account you are trying to access. Check and re-enter
the user name and password, note the password is case sensitive.
You have a firewall running which is preventing the internet radio from seeing the shared folder. As a quick check,
you can disable firewalls like Norton to see if this overcomes the problem, if this resolves the issue then you can either
leave the firewall off, or allow file sharing through the fire wall.
Note: If you firewall is required to provide security for your system, it should not be left off.
Note: Although you can share a CD drive, you cannot stream music directly from the drive.
6.Although I can see my music files in the folder, I cannot play them and the Internet Radio says they
are Protected:
When you copied the music files to the hard drive you had 'Personal Rights management' turned on,this
protects the files from being played by a third party device like the Internet Radio, you will need to copy the music files
again, but with the protection turned off.You are trying to play I-Tune files which have been purchased from the
I-Tunes online store, these are protected and can only be played on an I-Pod. Locally created or 'ripped' files for
I-Pods can be played as they do not carry the extra layer of Media Protection.
7.I can access the PC with my Media, but when I change to the Use Account, I cannot see the folder ,
although it is shared when I check my PC:
The Alternative account on the machine may be Private. If when the account was created, the 'Make this account
Private' option was selected, then the contents of this account cannot be seen over the network. You will need to
move the music to an accessible account.
