Yes. Add the media folders for each user to the shared folders list when you run
the Utility Wizard or use the Utility on your host computer. See "Chapter 6:
Installing and Using the Wireless-B Media Adapter Utility."
Can I play or show files from all the computers on the network using the Adapter?
No. You must move the files to the host computer so that the Adapter's Utility
can access them.
Can I use a firewall in my configuration?
You might find that the host computer and the Adapter cannot communicate
through a firewall. Please disable your Windows XP firewall on the host com-
puter before you install the Adapter. If you use a third-party firewall on your
home network that is located between the host computer and the Adapter, then
you must either disable it or configure it to accept the Adapter before installa-
tion. You might want to install a hardware firewall to protect your home net-
work from Internet intruders before you install the Adapter.
What happens when I set up shared media folders with lots of data to share?
Sharing a large shared media folder may take some time, depending on the
speed of the host computer. You can access whatever media that is already
shared while you wait.
Why are the songs playing in a different order than what I see on the TV menu?
If you select the Shuffle option for a playlist, the Adapter shuffles the songs as
it plays them. However, the playlist that appears on the TV menu does not
reflect the shuffle. Instead, it continues to show the original playlist order.
What happens if the connection between the Adapter and the host computer is
lost?
If the connection is completely lost, then the pictures or music stop after the 20-
second buffer finishes playing.
The main menu will appear again when the connection is restored. If it does
not, power the Adapter off and back on again.
What happens if my playlist is extremely long?
If you select more than 1,000 songs to play, it will take a few seconds for the
first song to start playing.
Can I play music from a CD using the Adapter?
Yes, if the CD contains MP3 or WMA files. You cannot play standard audio
CDs through the Adapter.

puters are configured to communicate directly with each other. The ad-hoc
wireless network will not communicate with any wired network.
What is infrastructure mode?
When a wireless network is set to infrastructure mode, the wireless network is
configured to communicate with a wired network through a wireless access
