Appendix B:

Using the Storage Link’s

Storage

Overview

Supported versions of Windows are:

Windows 95/98/ME or later •

Windows 2000, NT 4.0 •

Windows XP •

The following items may need to be checked or

configured:

TCP/IP protocol •

Network Logon (Windows 95/98/ME only) •

Mapping to the Network Storage Link’s storage •

TCP/IP Setup

Normally, no changes are required to each PC.

Check with your LAN administrator (or Network Storage

Link Administrator) to see if any changes are required.

Network Logon (Windows 95/98/ME only)

If your PC uses Windows 2000 or XP, ignore this section.

You do not need to make any changes to your network

configuration.

If your PC uses Windows 95/98/ME, then you must log

on to the network correctly in order to use the Network

Storage Link:

Check your Windows logon by selecting Start, Settings,

Control Panel, Network. Verify that the Primary Network

Logon is set to “Client for Microsoft Networks”. If this is

already set, there is no need to make any changes.

Network Logon

Windows will then prompt you to log on to the Network

when it boots. You must log on.

If you press ESC, or click Cancel, no network resources

will be available. When you log on, you need to use a valid

User Name and Password.

If the Network Storage Link Administrator has defined

users on the Network Storage Link, use the User Name

and password they supply.

If you use a User Name and password which is not

recognized by the Network Storage Link, you can still use

it, with guest access rights. By default, this allows read/

write access to the “public” share, but the Administrator

can set the guest access rights as they wish.

Storing Files

To store files on the Storage Link, you should “Map” a drive

letter to each folder on the Storage Link folder you wish

to access. The “Network Drive” will then be available to all

Windows programs. The procedure is as follows:

Double-click the Network Neighborhood (or My 1.

Network Places) icon on the desktop.

On the “View” menu, select Details. The Comment 2.

column will now be visible.

Locate the Storage Link If it is not listed, double-click 3.

Entire Network. Then double-click the Workgroup that

the Storage Link is in. (By default, the Storage Link is in

Workgroup.)

Locating the Storage Link

Double-click the icon for the Storage Link.4.

Right-click a folder (directory) to which you have 5.

access, and select Map Network Drive.

Select a drive letter for this folder, and check the 6.

Reconnect at Logon checkbox. (If this is not done, the

mapping will be lost when you shut down your PC.)
