IMPORTANT! When Niagara SCX and SCX Explorer reside on different computers,
always start your browse for files by clicking Network. Then work down or enter

\\fileserver\c\videos).
If you simply enter a file name, you may inadvertently browse your local
computer when the media file resides on the remote computer.
