Accessing Shared Files Folder from the Eeebox on the Server
In a computer lab installation, it is best to have most client machines connect to 1 shared folder on the server. This way a user can access their files from any computer. IHL comes with a Shared Files folder. To connect XP to the Shared Files folder:
 * 1) Log into the inveneo account by pressing control + alt + delete at the Welcome Screen
 * 2) Since the default account has a password, XP will NOT automatically log into the default account on boot up. However, it is not recommended to give passwords to regular users.  To force XP automatically log into an account with a password, use Tweak UI.
 * 3) Start > Programs > Tweak UI
 * 4) Click Logon > Autologon
 * 5) Check ''Log on automatically at system startup
 * 6) Set user name to default
 * 7) Click Set Password
 * 8) Type in the password for the default account.
 * 9) Log into the default account
 * 10) Open My Computer
 * 11) Tools > Map Network Drive [[image:XP-IHLshare01.gif|none|400px]]
 * 12) To map the network drive, set the drive letter and the folder location.
 * 13) *The drive letter is the letter used identify the location of the drive on the local machine. Generally the OS is on the C:// drive.  A thumb drive will also receive a drive letter when plugged into XP.  Inveneo recommends setting the drive letter for a mapped network drive to a letter in the middle of the alphabet, like Q
 * 14) The location of the folder is address XP uses to find the folder. The format is \\\ .  To connect to shared_docs, the location is \\192.168.100.1\shared_docs [[image:XP-IHLshare02.gif|none|400px]]
 * 15) If the user on XP does not match user the IHL, you will have enter a user name and password. Every time XP is rebooted, the user will be prompted to enter the user name and password for the mapped network drive.  If the user on XP matches the user on IHL, XP will automatically log into the mapped network.  In the case of the Shared Files folder, the user is named default and the password is 1nvene0
 * 16) Once the drive is mapped, a new icon in My Computer that links to the share on IHL [[image:XP-IHLshare03.gif|none|400px]]
 * 17) Redirect My Documents to the mapped network on drive Q:\. Right click the My Documents icon on the desktop > Properties
 * 18) Change the Target to 'Q:\ > OK
 * 19) Would you like to move all of the documents in your old location to the new location you have chosen? Yes Now My Documents and programs that save to My Documents, like OpenOffice, will save files to IHL without disturbing the user.

Adding Content
The server comes with content already installed. To add more content, see the IHL Manual, Chapter 11 Adding Content

Allowing Clients to Access Content
The server already has pre-installed content. The homepage for both Firefox and Internet Explorer is a page a on server, which points to the content. Make sure the client machines can access all of links on the homepage.

The homepage for Firefox and Internet Explorer for the default account should be 192.168.100.1

Installing the Printer
Since the CKCs use an all-in-printer, it is best to install the printer on one of the client machines. The scanning feature of the printer is lost when an all-in-one printer is plugged into the server. When an all-in-one is plugged into a client machine, printing capabilites can be shared across the network but only the computer that directly connects to the printer can scan. Typically it is best to connect the printer to the manager's computer. Then, they can easily monitor use of paper and ink.

When installing the printer, be sure to disable automatic updates by HP. Also, turn off updates at startup Start > Run > msconfig > Startup. Uncheck HP update software. Then test the printer on the manger's computer. Then, you can easily install the printer via the network on the rest of the computers.
