title: Connecting fingerprint biometric device to desktop
body: <p>I want to access the contents of the biometric device using a command prompt or a shared folder instead of using the software that comes with it. I am new in networking, I did the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    1. Set a static IP to my biometric device: 192.168.1.201 port 4370 (default)
      2. configure ethernet in my PC using ip: 192.168.1.1, subnet 255.255.255.0
      3. Connected my PC to the device using crossover cable.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The device is pingable, my firewall is off. I cannot access the device in browser <a href="http://192.168.1.201" rel="nofollow">http://192.168.1.201</a>, or in directory \\192.168.1.201</p>
  
  <p>I am planning to create a vbscript or a php code to access the biometric instead of the software that comes with it. So as a requirement, I need to have access to the device</p>
