I have been using first a T4 then more recently U4 and am very happy. But my PC can 'see'' my U4 ok and when I download programmes I download straight to the U4 via WiFi and can watch them with no problems but the U4 itself cannot 'see' the PC.
Is this a matter of Mounting and can you point me to a post on this site that tells me step by step how to do it. I've had a go at it previously but got nowhere. It would be good to be able access the PC (Win10) via the U4. Thanks in advance.

Hi Twizzle,
On the PC you need to create a shared folder. In the control panel you should turn off password protected sharing (it's default is on) or you will need to create a user account and password for the shared folder to be visible to the U4. Win10 is quite fussy in this regard.
In this post I set out how to use the network browser with a NAS. It's the same process for a windows folder.
If the browser doesn't expand to show the share, usually this means windows is not setup correctly and is looking for a username and password that differs from what you think it should be.
