then go to Start > All Programs > Accessories

> Windows Explorer.

2. In the Address field, enter the local IP address of the

Router:

(xxxxx are the last five digits of the Router’s

serial number.) You can change the server name

on the Storage > Administration screen; refer to

pre-existing folders, then you will have to

create shared folders so there is network

access to these pre-existing folders. Proceed to

admin account, admin is both the default user name

and password.) Click OK.
