Connecting the unit to the local network
Many times we want to move a file from one computer to another, for example to print something or just to watch it. If our computers do not have Bluetooth is a can move these files , as we enter a flash drive or hard drive, and copy files reinsert it into the other device.
Instead, today I bring a solution: we can communicate a hard disk with all computers that are connected to the local network , both Wi-Fi and Ethernet.
If you have a hard disk either do not worry, you will not need to buy one, with only a flash drive works perfectly . What will be necessary is to have a router compatible with this method.
To find out if your router allows this operation simply have to know if your modem has USB input or not . Typically between the Ethernet ports and between the ignition wire. It is very common for modern router available and the old no.
We also know our gateway, ie the IP. For that:
- Open Run from the Start menu or by pressing Windows + R at the same time and enter cmd .
- Once the interface is opened write ipconfig .
- Find where you put Default Gateway ; It is usually 192.168.1.1 .
Connecting the unit to the local network
We follow a few simple steps to recognize your computer's hard drive or flash drive.
- Connect the device to the router.
- Press Windows + R and type (gateway).
- We will open a sale that contain folders named usb0_0, usb1_0, and so on. There we find out what the flash drive or hard disk to which we connect and we will keep the name.
- Press Windows + E and we left click on the bottom, and select Add a network location .
- Press Next again Next and then introduce (gateway) usb1_0 . In this case I use usb1_0 because I do, but we must use the appropriate.
- We will give you a name and give it to accept .
So the next time we go to Team from any computer connected to that network that unit appears to us as if our team directly connected to your computer.
This is something that will save much time if you usually work with several computers simultaneously and do not want to use the services in the cloud.
