XBMC does not see computer with SMB Shares (Solved) - Hudson_Hawk04 - 2013-05-14

I ran into this problem yesterday after experiencing issues with internet connectivity, neither one of my xbmc machines see my computer with smb shares (I am running crystalbuntu and windows xbmc) I have tired killing off all my shares and re sharing them to no avail. If I try to point to them through the ip address where the shares are located it times out when trying to connect. I hope I have provided enough information to get the ball rolling in the right direction.

Debug Log?

Are you using XBMC as the shell or have a wireless adapter, by chance?

ive got a wireless adapter on the computer that my media is stored on, everything else is hard wired, will post a log shortly (I should have known better)

Figured that I would add all my media is on a windows eight PC, xbmc is on seven and for whatever reason they cannot see one another over the network, as far as I can tell both pcs are on the same workgroup and the home group is disabled on both machines
