XBMC Live to XP Home SMB Password Requests
#1
I'm experiencing a strange inconsistency here.

Running xbmc live, i can connect to my file server (winxp home edition), and i can see all of my shares.

-a few of the shares i can access no problem, but most of my shares ask for a username and password. any ideas?

I've seen vaious problems related to samba shares, but they all or nothing. since some of my shares work, im wondering what makes them so special?

some troubleshooting i've already done:
-read/write permissions don't make a difference
-set up an admin account with a password, does not make a difference.
-on the same drive, some shares are accessible, while others are not.

is this related to http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8840 ? can you test if you have access to your shares if you manually point to location

Code:
smb://username:password@server/share

can you post your smb.conf?

there's a few different things it could be, easier just to look at your conf.
