Acessing Shares:
- Once connected, in Finder, go to "Go" > "Connect to Server". You'll be prompted to type in your HDA address (smb://hda)
- There have been cases in which the hda name did not work due to DNS issues. If this is the case, you can connect via ip address of your HDA (smb://192.168.X.X)
