that you want to share. Find the folders that you want to share. Right -
click on the folder and click on the Sharing option of the pop-up menu.
You will now be asked to establish the kind of access you want to allow
to this folder. You should consider who will be using the access and
why, and establish the necessary password. Keep in mind that shared
folders will be accessible to any machine that establishes an IR
connection.
Making the Connection
To establish the IR connection between your notebook and another
system, you will use the IR as if it were a direct cable connection
between the systems. The other machine will also need to have the
software to support this connection. If the other machine is not set for
Direct Cable Connection, please repeat the steps above with the other
machine.
Start the IR software as described above. Once the machines alert you
that they have recognized the presence of another IR system, launch
the Direct Cable Connection program (Start/Programs/Accessories)
and set up the connection between the two machines.
If this is the first time you are using this connection, you will be asked if
the machine will be serving as a host or guest. You will need to set the
machine that will be receiving files or sending information to the printer
as the guest. The machine that will be sending files or allowing printer
access should be set as the host.
When you have selected the status of the machine, you will be asked
to designate a port for the connection. For a connection between
machines, you should select Serial cable on COM4. When you select a
machine as the host, you will be asked to establish whether or not a
password should be required of the guest machine before completing
the connection.
When both machines have established a connection via the IR, you will
receive information on the connection.
In subsequent sessions, your notebook will default to the host/guest
status that it had in the last session. You can change this by clicking on
the Change button. You will then be asked to establish the port for the
connection. If you want to maintain the same status as the last session,
just click the Listen button if your notebook is the host, or the Connect
button if your notebook is the guest.
