I am trying to add a video source from my iMac but when I select Windows network (SMB) I just get "Error 2: share not available", what am I doing wrong?

Ive had this a few times, I just go back to the menu, Hold the menu button down, let XBMC quit and then just go back in and it seems to work fine

I'm suffering from the same issue...
Everything was going well - but now I'm stuck. I've tried resetting the ATV2, connecting via ethernet + 802.11.n... but I'm stuck.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Whenever i've had this, i needed to reboot the machine hosting the shares.. came straight back then. however i've reflashed to go untethered and not had the problem since.

Are you connecting to a Windows 7 SMB share?

I use an iMac running OS X 10.6.6, I assume that this connects in the same way as a Windows 7 system would via the "Windows network (SMB)" share option when adding new sources, is this not the case?

^ Cheers dude.
Funnily enough I worked this out shortly after reading Candor's reply and, I don't know why but something clicked when I read it and so I Google'd "how to enable SMB sharing on a mac", it was all downhill from there really, so much so that I forgot to post saying that I had finally sorted it out!
Now to tackle why it won't let me install a new skin from a zip file, answers on the back of a postcard...
