I jailbroke my Ipad last week so I could use xbmc. No problem with the jailbreak as far as I can tell, xbmc seems to be working, but I can't seem to get it to see network shares.
When I try to get to them I get timeouts or error 2. I verified the network paths and login name/password is correct.
I'm not totally sure that it's xbmc though, as Buzz player can't seem to see network shares either now. Still, anyone got any suggestions as to what might be going on?
I was gonna post a log but it's making my post too long. I think this is some of the relevent stuff though:

Ah, that got it. Interesting, I was able to use netbios names before.
Thanks

netbios sucks ... if it works or not sometimes depends on the order you switch on your windows boxes...

I know what you are saying, even though it's not that helpful. Anyway, I have actual windows servers, not just workstations serving files, so the browse master election process, which is what you are likely talking about, shouldn't be an issue in my setup. Also, since the ipad is the thing that has changed recently, whatever the issue is I think it's still on the ipad's side of things.

Regardless, I can reach my files, which is what I'm interested in. What sucks now is it's not obvious to me how to delete references to media locations in xbmc that it can't resolve properly.

Sure it is on XBMCs side. We rely on libsmbclient which is a opensource implementation of the windows protocol. This just doesn't play nice together when talking about netbios. Would be a disaster if these issues would happen between windows only boxes.
