Figure 3.6. Setting up a windows XP share, step 3

Next click OK (unless you are one of those people who feels more comfortable by unnecessarily clicking

'Apply' first). Either way, you'll now have a shared video folder. You should see a 'hand' underneath the

folder icon:

That's it. if you have another computer on your network, you may wish to test the share out before trying it

on your PS2.

The next step is to configure SMS on your PS2 to access this new shared folder.

3.2.1.2. Setting up SMS to access the shared folder (PS2 side)

Open up a basic text editor such as windows notepad, and enter the following:

The name of the SMB server is found in My Computer > Properties > Computer Name > Full Computer

Name. Type the name in CAPITALS, omitting the trailing '.' character. The PS2 name can be anything

you want. The username and password are only required if your share is user or password restricted. If

you have set up the share using the method described above, leave both blank. For example:

192.168.2.20

DTHP

Playstation2

Save the file to a temporary location (e.g. desktop) as SMS.smb. Note that you will probably have to type

the " marks into the SaveAs box in notepad, i.e. "SMS.smb". Just typing SMS.smb will probably give you a

file called SMS.smb.txt (although windows will hide the .txt) which is not what you want!
