Loaded a PC with unbuntu xbmc for the first time. Everything went well. I then Upgraded unbuntu and then updated xbmc.
I connected it to a video share on my media server (windows) and everything worked great.
After a reboot, I couldn't connect to the share. it was giving me an error about the SMB share being unavailable. So i went poking around and saw under settings/service there is an option to put in a WINS server for SMB. so I put in my router ip (192.168.1.1) and it prompted me to restart xbmc. The share came back no problem.
The following night i turned it on again only to find the exact same issue. Simply editing the WINS entry and then editing it back, followed by a restart of xbmc fixed the issue again.
I've looked around, and i haven't seen much in the way of threads. Has anybody run into this?
