Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method and a system of automatically configuring a network, a device connected to the network, and an information handling system connected to the device through the network so that the device is able to access shared data on the information handling system. For example, a device such as a music player is able to access shared music files stored on the information handling system through the network, and then play such files on speakers or a stereo system attached to the music player. The configuration method may be implemented as a set of instructions or software executed by the information handling system, which provides a graphical user interface such as a setup wizard. Portions of the configuration method may also be implemented as software or firmware executed by the music player, which operates in a non-interactive format such as a hidden daemon.
