[CUBE] How do I set up Local Network password?

[atoa at krak.net]

1) You don't need SharePoints.
2) Davz's suggestion is wacky. The user name should be the user name and
password of the remote box.
His method will only work if there is a user on the remote box with the
same name as the local box. You could do that, of course, but it only
complicates things.
3) Choose HELP, type in "file sharing", and start reading. If that doesn't
help, post again.
