Hey guys,
I have been trying unsuccessfully for several hours to mount a shared folder on my windows 7 machine onto my VU+
The user account on my windows 7 machine is the one i use every day and has admin privileges and does NOT have a log in password.
The folder I'm trying to share has the necessary privileges because i can stream movies to my Wii, xbox360 & Iphone no problem
The shared folder is located when i click into "my videos" and is called "Movies"
Here's what I did:
1. Menu > setup > system > Network > Mount Manager
2. Add a new network mount point
3. Active - yes
Here are my settings:
local share name - PC
mount type - CIFS share
server IP - 192.168.1.13 (My PC's IP Addess)
server share - /Movies (Is this correct because when i right click my shared folder, click properties, sharing, the network path is displayed as \\ALANSPC\Movies?)
username - AMcDonald (This is my PC username)
password - (i left this blank as my PC doesn't have a password, is this correct?)
When i save these settings, i restarted the box but when i go into mount management, there is a small red x to the left which i think means the mount wasn't successful.
Im using vix 2.3 image on the box
Can someone tell me if my settings are correct or point me in the right direction?
Thanks guys
Alan
P.s I forgot add to add that when I try to access "network browser" the box crashes every time, not sure why that is
