If you are using Windows 2000, the sharing is already established in
your operating system (since Windows 2000 is designed to be a networked
operating system) and you merely have to activate the sharing for a given
resource. If you would like to share a folder, you can do so as follows:
1. Open the My Computer and the drive window containing the folders
you want to share.
2. Find the folders that you want to share.
3. Right click on the folder and click on the Sharing option of the pop-
up menu.
4. You will now need to establish the share name for this resource, the
number of users (who can access it simultaneously) and the permissions
that will control the user access. (Figure 4.29)
Check the Windows 2000 Help file (Start/Help) for more information
about users and permissions.
You should consider who will be using the access and why and establish
the necessary passwords. Keep in mind that shared folders might be acces-
sible to any machine connected to the network.

replicator. You will not need to shut down or suspend your computer to
connect it to the port replicator. If you have peripherals attached to your
port replicator that have never been recognized by your system, you might
be asked about the installation of new hardware. If you do not receive a
window identifying the new hardware, that hardware might not be func-
tional until you configure your system to recognize it. You can use the
Add New Hardware icon in the Control Panel (Start/Settings/Control
Panel/Add New Hardware) to set up the system to work with this addi-
tional hardware. To connect your WinBook notebook to the port replicator,

The first time you use a
peripheral on your system,
you should be able to plug
it directly into your port replica-
tor. If the computer does not
recognize the new hardware,
you can try plugging it directly
into the native port on the
WinBook notebook.
You can find more infor-
mation about your port
replicator in your WinBook
