Hi
I have a server in my loft running windows storage server 2008 essentials, its got 4 tb of media on it shared via smb.
None of my xbmc installs can see it. I have tried my laptop ( running windows 7 and eden ) my main xbmc machine ( live machine updated to eden) and May ipad2 ( eden ), when i go to add a source nothing comes up when you select smb.
If i add the sources directly to the sources file in userdata it works fine, all media plays, scrapes everything.
Also my laptop will quite happily browse to the server and it can see all the files.
It just seems to be a problem when browsing to the smb share with xbmc. It DID work at first but i have reinstalled the software on the server due to hdd failure but i dont no if it stopped working then.
So far i have tried re-setting the router (homehub3) but that made no difference.
Sometimes when i try and browse to a share on xbmc it says error2hare not available other times it does nothing.
Hope that makes sense.
Please help.
Matt
