I gave up on Boxee and decided to go with the xbmc on atv2 option, and while my jailbreak and xbmc installation went swimmingly, I cannot, for the life of me, seem to get this thing to recognize any of my shared files.

It doesn't even seem to see the computer they're on. I know there's probably something dumb and obvious I am missing, but if I have to type my server name and share folders out using this apple remote one more time, I might die. I've been doing this for an hour.

When I attempt to browse to my server, it's not there.

When I attempt to manually enter my server name, I get either "connection refused" or "connection timed out." I made sure the guest account is on and has full control permission of the shared folder.

Please help me before I lose my marbles.

Three hours now. Ready to go find a high cliff to jump off of.

What is your file server? Ie Mac osx lion? Or windows 3.1?

turn on your wireless access point or plug in your Ethernet cable

or

maybe post some logs and more info, my magic 8 ball is broken

Smb shares are on a windows vista machine. I've tried wired and wireless. I've tried logging in with no username and password, ad I've tried creating a username and password. I've tries with simple sharing turned on and turned off. I've tries using the server computer's name, ip address...

I know there's probably some super simple stupid obvious piece of the puzzle I'm missing but I tried for hours and hours with no results. So frustrated.

What kind of logs would help, and how do I get to them?

Also, I swear I'm not an idiot, posting from my phone just makes me look that way. :\
