8. Managing Your Media Player and Connected Devices
Creating Shortcuts to Shared Folders
If your media player is connected to a network, you can set up shared folders on your
computers that the media player can connect to over the network (see "Sharing Media Files
Over Your Network" on page 16).
You can create a shortcut to a shared folder if you want quick access to its contents. You will
need:
•
The IP address of the computer on which you've created the shared folder
•
(Optional) Your network user name and password—required only if users have to sign on
to your network to access it
•
(Optional) The label, domain, and host name of the computer on which you've created the
shared folder—required only if you're connecting to a shared folder with restricted access
