Network Logon for Windows 95 and 98
To access the Instant GigaDrive, you must correctly log on to the network.
1. Check your Windows logon using Start - Settings - Control Panel -
Network. Ensure that the Primary Network Logon is set to Client for
Microsoft Networks, as shown below. If this is already set, there is no
need to make a change.
2. After your PC boots, Windows will prompt you to logon to the network.
You must logon. If you press ESC, or click Cancel, network resources
will not be available. When you logon, you will need to use a valid User
Name and Password.
• If the Instant GigaDrive Administrator has defined users on the
GigaDrive, use the User Name and password supplied there.
• If you use a User Name and password which is not recognized by the
Instant GigaDrive, you can still use it with guest access rights. By
default, this allows read/write access to the public share, and allows
you to use the printer.
Changing your Instant GigaDrive Password
Once the Instant GigaDrive Administrator has given you a valid GigaDrive
user name, you can use the following procedure
to change your password.
1. Open up your web browser.

Password Management
You can configure your PC to work with only one password the password
you use to log onto the network at startup. To do this requires that the User
Name and Password be the same on Windows, the Instant GigaDrive, and on
any other network server you may be accessing. Only the Network
Administrator can create and modify user names.

Changing the password on your other servers
