I am currently using a hub but not a router. I needed to buy a router. Will the Orange Micro card find the router OK without specifying a specific address (I assume it will since you are doing it). >I used the instructions that came with our DSL router, as follows >(These are for Windows 95/98/ME - I don't know if they work for NT): >#1 From the Start button, click on "Run" >#2 In the Run dialog box, type "winipcfg" and press the Enter key >#3 Select your network adapter card from the drop-down list My difficulty may come in because I am using the internal EtherNet connection on the Mac and not an add on card. >#4 To reset the IP address, click the "Release All" and then the "Renew >All" buttons >#5 Click the "OK" to close the utility > >Depending on your router, and how you configured it originally, you may >or may not need to adjust some settings in the security area.

I am trying to do the shared folders. So far I have been unsuccessful. I want to take a Mac folder with a couple of PC files in it that I downloaded using the Mac and get the Orange Micro PC to recognize it as a shared folder. I have been trying to do it as follows: I start up Orange PC. Then I do the command D to switch back to the Mac screen. At that point I select the Orange Micro application and go to file and down to setup. At setup I go to shared folder F. I select the option set volume. Then I find the folder and select it with CHOOSE. Then I do cold boot. At that point, from the information in the manual, I should be able to find that volume in My Computer. I have used a very simple name for the shared volume, SP6. That should not violate any DOS naming conventions. I am evidently missing a step or doing something incorrectly because the volume does not show up in My Computer. If you get a moment, reply with your comments. Thanks, Neal Carrie L.
