I have an Acer Revo 3610 setup great with XBMCLive installed working lovely with my USB Externals attached.
I have now changed my setup as I am going to use my main Windows 7 (x64 Ultimate) PC as a server. I've attached the drives and shared them with the 'Everyone with Full Control' because I want Sab, SB and CP to access them from my Revo.
The main problem I am having is connecting to the Shares.
XBMC finds my Windows Workgroup, but when trying to access the computer it asks for a Username and Password, but my Windows machine does not have a password setup.
Why can I not access them?
Do I need to create a hidden XBMC user account on the PC?
My windows machine will be accessed by my Revo and 4 laptops for the media on it.
I dont think it's a XBMC fault so much, maybe a sharing issue with Windows 7?
Any ideas? It's driving me mad!
