If you have a third party firewall (Like Norton, or Zone Alarm) that will have its own
control panel and you will need to consult the manual for your firewall.
If your PC is connected to a managed network, with a server sometimes the PC being
searched for needs to be server Workgroup.
4.You can see the PC you want to play music from, but cannot find any folders
on the PC:
The folder which has your music in it is not shared. You will need to locate the file you
want to share, right click on the folder, and select
'Properties', Then tick share this file.
The folder is not in an accessible place, i.e. it is in, My music, My documents or on the
Desktop. You will need to mode the folder to the root directory.
You have entered the wrong user name or password for the PC account you are trying
to access. Check and re-enter the user name and password, note the password is case
sensitive.
You have a firewall running which is preventing the internet radio from seeing the
shared folder. As a quick check, you can disable firewalls like Norton to see if this
overcomes the problem, if this resolves the issue
then you can either leave the firewall off, or allow file sharing through the fire wall.
Note: If you firewall is required to provide security for your system, it should not be left
off.
Note: Although you can share a CD drive, you cannot stream music directly from the
drive.
5.Whenever I enter my media folder , the internet radio rescans the content of
the folder:
Although the folder with your music in it is shared, it is 'write protected', so the Internet
Radio cannot save a list of the folder's content back onto the PC, as it needs to rescan
each time.
Tick the box that allows the Folder to be modified across the network.
6.Although I can see my music files in the folder, I cannot play them and the
nternet Radio says they are 'Protected':
When you copied the music files to the hard drive you had 'Personal Rights
management' turned on, this protects the files from being played by a third party device
like the Internet Radio, you will need to copy the music files again, but with the
protection turned off.
You are trying to play iTunes files which have been purchased from the iTunes on line
store,these are protected and can only be played on an iPod. Locally created or 'ripped'
files for iPod can be played as they do not carry the extra layer of Media Protection.
7.I can access the PC with my Media, but when I change to the Use Account, I
cannot see the folder , although it is shared when I check my PC:
The Alternative account on the machine may be Private. If when the account was
]created, the 'Make this account Private' option was selected, then the contents of this
account cannot be seen over the network. You will need to move the music to an
accessible account.
