I want to be able to access my pc from my azbox. As i'm sure other people do as well.
My azbox has a good internet connection. It is hooked to my router via a straight cat 5 cable. My other 2 computers are hooked to the router wirelessly. Both of my pc's (both using windows vista) recognize each other and I can share files between the 2.
On my azbox, in the network settings, I have enabled everything except the dynamic...option.
in the file sharing option my settings are WORKGOUP, MMP, root, passwd.
When i clicked execute i was able to sign into my azbox via my laptop. However, when i go to "music or video" on my azbox, and click on "network" is does not recognize any of my pc's or files in the network....it takes me to the generic "mygroup" file, then attempts to connect for a bit, then backs out to the main menu.
I have the latest firmware update.
Is this a linux/windows vista issue?
I have googled, and searched threads on here for 24 hours and i can't find a remedy. Can anyone provide a link or some instructions on what I may need to do differently......surely I'm not the only one having this problem.
Thanks in advance!
Pokey,
I believe that you mean that you want to access your AZBox to manage files within it via your PC. You stated this the other way around and I don't think that is possible.
If you want to connect directly to your AZBox from the PC, all you should need is an Ethernet cable, but it will need to be a crossover type, not pin for pin.
If you connect the AZBox wired to yur router, you need to use a standard Ethernet cable. The AZBox Premium can do WiFi and that is a totally new ballgame for connection opportunities.
Which direction are you headed? WiFi between the Premium and wireless router or direct Ethernet connection between PC and AZBox? It is going to make a difference.
The direct, hardwired connection between the PC and the AZBox should be identical regardless if the model is the Elite or the Premium..
The Premium has the capabilities for WiFi and that is a special case.
Check the manual for the AZBox available here on the fourm - Manuals Section. You will need a special upgrade for your Adobe Reader so that it can convert Korean Fonts to English, so be advised of this if you detect such a message (the upgrade is free - and requires just a few minuts to load).
There is a lot more involved than your may realize, but with some research, you will be able to figure it out. Sorry, I am not a guru in this area, but I was able to make it work through WiFi I don't think that I should try to give much more advice than this as I may mislead you. I don't wish to do that, so simply just know that it can be done and then go searching for the information as to how.
