In this presentation I am going to show how you share contents
Of a USB mass storage device such as Memory stick amongst
The users behind Thomson Modem.
This home networking application is possible only for those
Thomson Modems which have Master USB Port and Contentsharing
Feature implemented into them.
For example TG782, TG782T, TG787, TG797n are the examples
Of Thomson Modems which have this feature. If you are lucky to
Have such a modem do use this feature. See How it works!

So basically all you have done is you have executed single command which is:contentsharing cifs config state=enabled workgroup=mygroup name=mynameWhen you become expert in CLI you can do this quickly by entering above command.But in the beginning I would recommend you to use menu mode until you getFamiliar with CLI. At any moment you can always quit any stage by pressingCTRL + g if you do not know the correct answer for any parameter setting.
