Viewing solo2 on windows 7 network

**vuesolo** · 21-06-13, 20:25

Guys read something about being able to view the solo2 on windows 7 pc without using DCC E2. Anyone know how?

enable samba on the solo 2.
Menu -> Setup -> System -> Network -> Samba setup.

Ok judge. Enabled the samba on the solo2. Now what do I do in widows 7. Cheers

Go to my computer and it should show up in network

**vuesolo** · 22-06-13, 16:17

Sorry nothing showing up in windows explorer under network.

Try to edit the "Workgroup" name/entry in the samba config file in Usr > etc >samba. I changed mine from "VIX" to "WORKGROUP" which is my network workgroup name, rebooted the box and it's there now.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

If you know the IP address of the solo 2, type \\ip_address into the address bar in explorer and that should show the shared folders.

You can right click on a shared folder and select "map network drive". That will give it a drive letter (like Z: ) so that you can easily find it again.

That worked great, I can now see the solo2 as a Z drive, what I really want to do is use windows explorer to move files across instead of using DCC, does anyone know how?

Try changing router to WPA2 only then reboot router.

This worked for me when none of the above worked. Can now see Solo2 in Windows 7 network

You should be able to drag and drop files into the appropriate folder on your new Z: drive.
