To access a shared folder using My Computer/Windows Explorer:
1. Open My Computer/Windows Explorer.
2. From the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive.
The Map Network Drive dialog box displays:
The exact appearance of this dialog box varies, depending on your operating
system.
3. In the Drive list, select the drive letter that you want to assign to the shared
folder.
4. In the Folder text box, enter the following:
\\storage_system\shared_folder
where storage_system is the name or IP address of the storage system, and
shared_folder is the name of the shared folder. For example, if your storage
system's IP address is 192.168.0.101 and the shared folder name is Photos,
you would enter the following:
\\192.168.0.101\Photos
Note:
You can use the storage system name only if your computer is in
the same subnet as the storage system, if you added the storage system's
IP address and name to your local hosts file, or if you manually registered the
name with a DNS server in your network.
Alternatively, you can click Browse and select the shared folder from the
Microsoft Windows Network.
