3. Click on "My Computer."
4. Click on "My Network Places."

10. You will be prompted for a username and password. Use your network username (e.g., jt15smit) and password, not your e-mail username. You also may need to include "sienaservices" (For example "sienaservices\tj15smit"). Click OK when done.
