and enter the path exactly as it is shown: \\confusion\GISData

This path is CASE SENSITIVE.

Once connected to the Confusion Drive, click on the 'UO GIS Collection' folder and select the 'US_States' folder (if you are searching for US data, otherwise click on 'Other_Countries'). 

For Oregon data, double click the 'Oregon' folder and follow the hierarchy related to your search request.
