Using the USB port
Starting the computer browser
To access resources in the network, the Windows service computerbrowser must be
started.
You can check it as follows:
ì
Open the Control Panel by selecting Control Panel from the start menu of the Win-
dows taskbar.
ì
Open System and Maintenance, then Administrative Tools and click on Services.
Note: On Windows XP and 2000 systems right-click on the Workplace symbol and
choose Administrative Tools. Double-click on Services and Applications and then on
Services.
ì
Check if the status for the Computerbrowser entry is Started.
ì
If Computerbrowser is not started, double-click on the entry.
ì
Click on Start.
If an error message appears with a content like "..has been started and then stopped
again..", you still have to allow file and printer sharing in the Windows firewall (see next
section).
