File System Requirement

If your system disk is a FAT32 file system instead of the standard NTFS file
system (for example, if you upgraded your PC to Windows XP or 2003 from an
earlier operating system), when you install the Mirra software, you see this
message:

Network Requirements

modem, you must install a router or a hub so that your Personal Server and your
computer can share the same Internet connection. If you have a different
configuration, see
for further details on connecting your Personal Server to your computer.
If you have a wide area network (WAN) that uses a router to bridge different subnets, you
Note:
can use your Personal Server only with computers connected to the same subnet.
