View or Edit CIFS Share Points

Use this property page to view or change CIFS share points. Any volume or directory on the server can be specified as a share point and made accessible via Network Neighborhood or My Network Places. If no share points are specified, then all mounted volumes are displayed.

Name
This is the name by which the sharepoint is displayed on Windows computers. For example, if you enter Company Photos as the sharename associated with VOL1\GRAPHICS, then Windows workstations browsing the network see "Company Photos" instead of "VOL1\GRAPHICS."

Path
This is the path to the server volume or directory which becomes the root of the sharepoint. Beginning at the volume name, the full path must be specified and it must end with a backslash (\).

Comment
This is a description of the sharepoint that appears in Network Neighborhood or My Network Places.

Maximum Number of Connections
This is the maximum number of connections allowed to access the sharepoint (0 is unlimited).

Once you have the name, path, and if necessary the comment specified for a sharepoint, click the Add button to add the sharepoint. You can also remove sharepoints by selecting them from the list and clicking the Remove button.
