Huge problems with smb

[tore-]

here is the deal, just downloaded xbox_media_center_2005-01-02_build-ind and im trying to connect to shares over the lan.

i've got 3 pc's which i want it to connect to:
1. winxp sp2
2. winxp sp1
3. freebsd 4.8 with samba 3.0

on pc 1 and 2, ive set up one acount named "xbox", pass "password". tested via simple and "secure" sharing with help from theese guides:

and

it will work on pc 2 (i can connect from xbmc to pc2), but not on pc1. when accessing pc 1 with xbmc i allways get "access denied". pc 2 on the other hand, cannot connect to pc1, i get this error message: "logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer"(this is when typing \\pc1 in explorer, hence i cannot even view the shares on pc1!). if i do in cmd "net view \\pc1" i get "system error 5 occoured, access is denied". unless, i do a "net use \\pc1 password /user: xbox", then i can connect to pc1 from pc2. this problem occours also the other way around, from pc1 to pc2.

xbmc, on the other hand, still cant connect to pc1 or pc2. but, it can connect to pc3 running samba 3.0. the shares on pc3 have the args public = yes, and the server is also running as wins master. pc1 and 2 can also connect to pc3 nicely.

i've tried to use log level 10 in xmbc.xlm, but i cannot find a log file, and of course, also tested to delete the cache in /e/ that belongs to xmbc.

pc1 and 2 is not running any form of firewall, so that shouldn't be a problem, since i do can connect to p1 from pc2 and vica versa with using net use.

messing with this since i unpacked my xbox 12 o'clock today (5hours roughly), im stuck and have no f' idea whats wrong.


thanks for all god sugestions!

i have a similar problem, and was hopping to know the answer as well.

i have two computers on the network, both xp pro with sp1.
- i set shares on both computers, and both computers can access the shares without any problem (i can also access them if i connect a friend's laptop to the network)

however, when i try to browse the workgroup on the xbox, only 1 computer is accessable - without any problems, when i select pc 2, it hangs for 2m or so, then says "access denied"

since i can access the pc 2 from any other pc, i cannot see why this problem happens.

any pointers are greatly appriciated!

thanks in advance,

p.s. does the xbmc keep a detailed error log?
if so, were is it stored, - if i would be able to read it, it may give some pointers as to what the real problem is, instead of the uninformative "access denied"

debugging - add (or adjust the current entry) <loglevel>0</loglevel> in xboxmediacenter.xml, reboot, then try accessing what ever, then look at xbmc.log (the log will be in same folder as the xbmc xbe)

ps, if your using a firewall, try disabling it.

also, since xbmc can access 1 but not other, then the other pc needs to be setup correctly. check permissions etc, even try running the network wizard!
