[AppleTV2] Can't get ATV2 to work with NAS

I've also found that if you don't have Guest access enabled on your NAS/Airport that is an issue. I had to change in my Airport Extreme's settings to enable Guest access.

Get the PDF johnsea uploaded (for you) ann follow the instructions how to set up your nas.

add network location
=> choose windows network (SMB)
=> enter server name (nas should have a manually configured ip - if not - do so under settings => network of your synology software)
=> follow instruction (pdf)....

I appreciate the help but that didn't work...nothing showed up under SMB when adding a source. Also, XBMC 10.0 has different menu items, no mount SMB toggle. seems like a lot of brain damage vs the Plex ATV client.

EDIT: i had already established a static ip for the NAS, which i input when going into the settings/network menu page.

the thing is, this doesn't happen on the OSX version, which has no problem, just the iOS version.

can anyone else help here...XBMC4ATV still not seeing NAS after following directions above.

EDIT: Figured it out thanks for the help guys!

I also have a Synology device that is networked to my ATV2. Even though XBMC and the Synology have the same workgroup name set using the browse button I am not able to see the Synology. I had to manually enter the server name, share, username, and password. After I did the manual input it worked fine.
