I had to move all the files to the default public share folder. It's just annoying I couldn't get it to work right the first time. gunner125@idkfa.com (gunner125) Indiscernible from Magic Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:31:32 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=300&msg_id=350 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=300&msg_id=304 I've never really understood Window's network file sharing security model very well. Every time I end up trying to get it to work, I either set up an account that explicitly has every access right possible, and then put those credentials in the client's keychain, or do like you have, and try to remove all possible access restrictions. If I recall, there are permissions both for the filesystem, as well as for who has access to the share. I want to say share permissions are checked first, and file permissions second, however, I could be wrong. If you're getting access denied messages, maybe try to check out the event log on the serving machine to see what user it thinks is accessing the files. That should at least be a start. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Indiscernible from Magic Sun, 29 Aug 2010 14:51:34 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=300&msg_id=304 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=300&msg_id=303 Do you know of any sharing issues from W7 to XP? I set up the network sharing on both my desktop and my old, old, old laptop. I have no problem reading files from my laptop (running XP pro) on my desktop (running W7). But there seems to be issues going the other way. I am merely typing in the IP address and it's giving me a list of the shared folders. When I click on one of the shared folders it says I don't have permissions. I have attempted to remove all security barriers but maybe I am missing something. Is this just W7 being "smart?" gunner125@idkfa.com (gunner125) Indiscernible from Magic Sun, 29 Aug 2010 13:24:54 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=300&msg_id=303 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=300&msg_id=301 They were selling these at Costco a while ago. My dad has one. They're pretty decent for playback performance and quality, and one of the few DLNA-type devices I've seen that support MKV files, as well as can do 1080p, and subtitles to boot. I think it requires an ethernet connection, but they make pretty long cables. Also, last I looked, there was sort of a "hacker" community around rooting the boxes and turning them into embedded Linux boxes. Might be a way to get a web browser on it, if that's important. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Indiscernible from Magic Sun, 29 Aug 2010 03:23:56 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=300&msg_id=301 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=300&msg_id=300 Any suggestions on a cheap "media center pc" I can buy to connect to my TV and stream video from my computer? I currently run W7 ultimate and a linksys e1000 router with standard 128 bit security. gunner125@idkfa.com (gunner125) Indiscernible from Magic Sat, 28 Aug 2010 23:23:08 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=300&msg_id=300
