3.5.2. Accessing Shares Using LaCie
Network Assistant
LaCie Network Assistant will help you quickly connect to the Wireless
Space shares (MyShare and OpenShare) and the USB storage that
is connected to one of its three ports. Further, the shares can be set
to mount each time you log on to your computer (see section 3.5.3.
