Windows Vista and Windows 7
After launching Air Sharing, you may connect to it from Windows Vista and Windows 7 by following these steps:
- Open the Start menu and select Computer.
- Click Map network drive in the toolbar at the top of the Computer window.
- Select a drive letter in the drop-down menu.
- Enter Air Sharing’s IP address in the Folder field.
- Alternatively, if Bonjour has been configured (e.g. if you have installed Bonjour for Windows, iTunes, or Safari), you may enter Air Sharing’s Bonjour address.
- Make sure the Reconnect at login box is unchecked.
- If you do not have “Require Password” and a username and password configured under the “Sharing Security” Air Sharing options, select “Finish” and it will map your drive.
- If you do have “Require Password” configured, do not click “Finish.” Instead click on “Connect using a different user name,” which will bring this dialog.
- Enter your user name and password and then click “OK,” once you are returned to the Map Network Drive dialog click on “Finished.” You will see the “Attempting to Connect” dialog.
Each time, make sure your user name is the one you have set in Air Sharing, as Vista sometimes prepends extra characters to it.
Your Air Sharing network drive should now be mounted and ready to use.
To reconnect to Air Sharing in the future, first make sure that Air Sharing is running. Open the Start menu and click Computer. Find the network drive under Network Locations and double-click it.
After the drive is set up, if you decide to enable a password, or change your current username or password for Air Sharing, you will need to do the following:
- Open the Start menu and select Computer.
- Find the network drive under Network Locations.
- Right click on the network drive and select Disconnect.
- Set up the drive again.
