Accessing Your Digital Media
The following sections provide some suggestions for accessing digital media with Windows,
Macintosh OSX, and Linux.
Windows System Passwords
If your system requires a password on startup, you need to use one of these access methods:
Recommended: Enable guest access on PCs that have a startup password. From the Windows
Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > User Accounts, and enable guest access.
Manually enter passwords on your Digital Entertainer Express.
Remove the password from the main administrator account.
Macintosh OSX
Turn off the Macintosh firewall, and then select the sharing icon from system preferences.
1. Click Firewall, select Stop, and verify that “Firewall off” is displayed.
2. Select the sharing icon from system preferences, and select the Windows Sharing check box.
Make sure that “Windows Sharing On” is displayed.
Once the system is up and running, for better security you can configure your OSX firewall to
allow file access while blocking other network ports. For file sharing you must allow access
through TCP ports 139 and 445, and UDP ports 137 and 138.
Linux
You need to load and install a Samba server.
