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 Elite.
• 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.
