Heh. I only know enough about networking that I was able to set up the wireless router so I have internet access throughout the house.
I do have another PC on the network. But when I go to the shared files, it only shows the shared files on that PC, my router and network camera. I don't know how to fix it so the other PC's shared files show.

I took the folder that the companion software created and entered that into the iLiad. Is that what you mean? I'm the only one using the PC & iLiad.

Heh Heh. You're preaching to the choir, my friend!

Windows Event Logs? Where are those?
