English Amiga Board - View Single Post - A1200: How to share files over LAN (Media Server)

Ok, I'm a bit crap with details but I'll try.

1) Basically you need a NAS or 'Media Server' type drive, something that is visible under Windows in the Network folder (across your LAN). This was easy for me because my new router has that functionality built in.

2) Then install EasyNet and get a LAN card, use your router's IP etc to connect to the LAN then simple add your Media Center/NAS IP address under the HOST's section of EasyNet (set the network group to WORKGROUP, username/password are required but not actually used so you can just make them up).

3) Within EasyNet you can configure it to automatically connect to the shared drive and mount it on your desktop for easily copying files across from the PC to your Amiga.
