I have recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I have a windows 7 ubuntu server. The issue is that I cannot connect to my Win.7 server with the ubuntu xbmc. All my windows pcs will connect just fine. Is the NTFS file system causing the issue with me not being able to see things? Could it be the windows "WorkGroup" that is blocking the server connection? I can't seem to find an answer.

Are you using smb to access the share? Also are you using domain or workgroup based authentication?

To access a share on windows server, try this path format:

smb://servername/sharename

username: domain\user (For domain based authentication) or just the username for work group security.
