==Assumptions==
You will need to know how to share a directory on your hard disk on your computer to the local area network //**(the F1 key on most operating systems will provide HELP on how to do that)**//, as this section could take many pages to write up alone as there are so many different operating systems out there that support this function i.e. Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, OSX, 100's of linux distributions, Solaris etc ..

**Note:** //when sharing a network device to the HDD on your box, you need to share is as "harddisk" with a sub directory of "movie"//

This is where you set up your DM box on your Local Area Network (LAN) via **wifi** (DM800,DM8000) if you have a wifi USB unit, or by //hard wire// plugged into your ethernet port(LAN cable). If you planning on using any of the mulit-media tools like the [[e2MoviePlayer VLC Movie player]], the Media player or [[e2webif the world wide web interface]], this must first be set up for your network.

Here we can set up;
**Use Interface:** Do you want to use the LAN adaptor on the previous menu? Yes or no - in 99% of all cases say yes
**Use DHCP:** for new user this option will discover the details below if your modem router has a DHCP server active in it. But to use most of the tools you will want to disable this option
**the IP address of the box:** this must be a unique address you assign to your DM box (unique = NO other device on the LAN has this address)
**net mask of the box:** On most networks this will be a C class address as shown by default 255.255.255.0
**the Gateway of the box:** (next page) the address of your modem router out to the internet (if you have a PC connected to your LAN check what it is using for a gateway as this should be the same address as the PC's gateway.
