Yes - you'd do it if you want to see the files stored on the iLiad in a windows folder on a windows PC with a connection over a network, initiated by entering e.g. \\192.168.1.5 in a windows browser (where the IP address is that of the iLiad). iRex have done it the other way around for connections to the PC - mounting a windows share on the iLiad, and then only temporarily to implement their inbox/outbox concept, which I find a bit clunky. The inbox/outbox concept is probably best in fitting with what they plan for the IDS, whatever that is.
