  • The computer will try to connect to the S-Drive and it will ask you to log in. Enter your username and password in the Bizlab domain (notice that your username is always preceded by "bizlab\") and click on "Log On". See the figure below.
    
    
    
    
  • The contents of your S-Drive folder will be shown. At this time, your new S-Drive network place behaves like any other drive in your computer. You can use drag and drop to copy files from your hard disk to your S-Drive.

• Troubleshooting:
  • In order for this to work, your computer most have Windows XP Service Pack 2 and have a Internet connection.
  • Make sure your firewall is not blocking this type of connections.
  • You can use your remote pc IP address or the full computer name to connect. Try both in case one doesn't work.
