    11.2 Frequently Asked Questions Question: I find new file names and folder names that I never created before or they have strange gibberish names. Answer: Most likely, the hard disk’s file allocation table (FAT) has been corrupted. This might be due to the PC’s shutting down while reading or writing to your hard disk by the USB connection.

    Question: I configured everything correctly, but still cannot get the wireless network or UPnP function to work. Answer: Are you using a firewall such as Norton Internet Security, McAfee Personal Firewall, Zone Alarm, etc. or even the built-in firewall of Windows XP? (Don’t forget that Service Pack 2 for Windows XP automatically upgrades your firewall and turn it on by default) If you have a firewall, it may need to be configured or have exceptions created to allow you to see and communicate with the player on the network.
