Sharing Things with Others

Sharing Things with Others
This section is only relevant for users who have installed a network card in their HP Brio PC.
Note
The great advantage of being in any sort of network — be it computers, or a
more general company-wide network, is the power to be able to share
resources. Leveraging shared information reduces costs and improves
efficiency.

What Does Sharing Mean?

Sharing things over a network means making them available to other users on
the network. A hard disk, for example can be shared; if the disk is on your HP
Brio PC, you tell the computer to share it, and to whom.
Likewise, you can also connect to things other people have shared — the hard
disk, for example. You must tell your HP Brio PC to connect to a resource that
someone else has shared.
The HP Brio PC lets you connect to, and share information, such as folders and
documents, or peripherals such as printers, modems or CD-ROMs, quickly and
easily.

Just What Can be Shared?

Disk Drives

Where large amounts of information should be freely available for everyone in
your business, complete disk drives can be shared. If you need total flexibility,
everyone in your business could share their own disk drive.
