To begin sharing drives over networks, start the Padus Network Console. This can be done in DiscJuggler by clicking on the Network Console icon () in DiscJuggler or by using the Network Console shortcut in the Windows Start menu (default location: Start » Programs » Padus DiscJuggler » Network Console).

After the Padus Network Console has started, start the Network Server service. This can be done by using File » Share network writer(s)... This will open the primary configuration window for the Network Server service.

The following parameters will determine how the service starts. These settings cannot be changed while the service is running.

Web port

The Network Server service contains a simple web interface for administrative functions and monitoring. The port that the web service uses can be changed to not interfere with other web services that might be running on the same system.

Service port

Changes the default service port that the Network Server service runs on. This is useful if another service needs to use this port on the host system.

Web root

The location where the web interface files are contained. The default location is located in the Web directory of the root DiscJuggler program files directory.

Server startup mode

• Start automatically at every system startup
  
  This option is useful if the host system is always used as a server.
   

• Start only in this session
  
  This option will make sure the service does not start when Windows loads.

Pressing the Start button on this window will begin the service. For additional configuration options, please read the Configuring a Server section.
