I'm talking about the words 'login as:'. This is the prompt sent by the Touch. > 4)I put "\\" before the IP address or the Touch name in Windows Explorer > but I was told "Windows couldn't find the address" > > 5)I didn't change the default settings in sharing so the password is > still 1234 Are you sure you enabled file sharing at Settings > Advanced > USB & SD Storage > Sharing? SSH and file sharing are two different things and are enabled separately. By enabling SSH you can connect to a console session in a terminal program like PuTTY. Logged in remotely as root you can do things like view and edit files, start and stop services, and just about anything administrative. Enabling file sharing allows you to see the computer on the network in a program like Windows Explorer and see the 'shares' that are configured to be shared over the network. > In advanced\Diagnostics\Network Health it says "All network tests passed > successfully" and the Touch can play internet radio -- so I think it is > indeed connected to the network. Right, there's no question about that. But you have to enable the other two services before you can use either an SSH client like PuTTY or SMB (file sharing) client like Windows Explorer. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90673 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
