Same issues here. SMB server... syncing to XBMC... using the iP address constantly locks up and/or freezes and/or exits

@abrasher
please use your own thread (and post your LOGS) before you say you have the same issue....

@ulocalguru.
have you tried switching on detailed logging on the w7 box, i'm curious to see what happens on the w7 side (does it give login errors etc.)

P.S.
something silly, what kind of workgroup setup are you using ? both in xbmc and your w7 setup (name ?)

I am not sure where I would turn on detailed logging on the w7 box, do you mean the detailed logging under xbmc? I dont know how the SMB access issues from the ATV would show up on the w7 box under xbmc. unless you mean logging under windows itself and there I just have regular system logs and I hadnt looked under those for anything.

Both systems use Workgroup and under the File Manager on the ATV2 when adding an SMB source I can see the whole workgroup but when its acting up the only system I cannot browse is the Server, all other systems on the network that are setup to share do so and stream just fine.

Side note, its been a few days now since I have had an issue, so it may have resolved itself? then again it would go a couple of days sometimes without an issue.

Im more then willing to turn detailed logging in xbmc on the w7 box next time I get the issue on the ATV2, but i dont think it will show something, i think this is all on the ATV2... just not sure how

it's a weird one to diagnose....

I meant your system logs on the windows box (just to see whats going on)
also, since it's working now, did you switch some other windows machine(s) off ?

Here is the fix I tried and it immediatly started working.
Someone might consider making this known because the issue can apparently affect any system using a Windows 7 computer as a smb host.

In short:

Set the following registry key to ’1′:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache

and set the following registry key to ’3′:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size

After making these changes please reboot
