< nothing of the above worked
< when i chose the share the xbmc waits for 10 sec and shows me the upper folder icon
< ftp-works
< xbmp works fine on same folders on same server

i am lost

any idea is welcome

(and yes, i read all stuff about smb-problems in the forum)

i've got a setup similar to yours running between xbmc (01-15-04) and my win2k pro box.  local workgroup, no domain.  and the xbox acct has guest priveleges.  also have nameserver set to my win2k box.

try this... this is my config:

smb://ibz;xbox:pass@quark/quarkarchiv/

[alx]

thanx, but this doesnt work either

[Aurora13]

smb should be in the following format:

smb://usernmae:password@workgroup/server/shared_folder

so try this:

smb://xbox:pass@ibz/quark/quarkarchiv/

[Krurst]

try just having

  <bookmark>
      <name>test</name>
      <path>smb://ibz;xbox:[email protected]/</path>
  </bookmark>

and no other servers listed. (ibz is your workgroup right?) and double check that the xbox password is right and is able to access your pc (do you maybe have a second pc to test it with?)

oh and try one more thing - enable guest access and just have smb://192.168.10.11/

i tried all the version above mentioned, but nothing helped

the smb share works fine if i use the xbmp with old samba
client, so i guess the settings on my server system are ok

with new samba client my xbox cant connect, probably its
its something with new samba an w2k!?

[tslayer]

i use the new samba on win2k.

no problems at all.

you didn't mention if you tried the following format:

smb://192.168.10.11/quarkarchiv/

try that. also, you may want to check your event log on win2k to see if there are any details in there.

also, you may want to try to take screenshots of your share settings in win2k so we can see if you've set them all correctly.

thanks,

tried the one above, but still the same

i checked the settings in my w2k system

correct me if i am wrong, but with xbmp everything
works fine, so the share setting on w2k are ok!?

no event logs concerning that problem

@ts: which build of xbmc do you use

(this drives me crazy)

[tslayer]

i use my own build after 1-15. but i have had success since the new smb code was introduced in early january (or late december, i forget).

xbmp and xbmc use different smb client code.

like i said, take some screenshots so we can check your configuration just to be sure.

another thing to try, to see if it is even connecting to win2k, is after you try to access the share, do a netstat from a command prompt in windows and check if there was a connection attempt from your xbox.

found the error!
after banging my head against the wall for hours, i thougt
i should tell you guys. was one of the easy dump things, you never would think of.

smb works fine in the way it is described in other threads

thanx for the support

[tslayer]

out of curiousity, what was the dumb issue?

ts

[alx]

after checking the communication with netstat, i recognized that i typed the wrong ip adress in the xml-file, aarrrgghhh
(weeks before i changed the server ip from 192.168.10.11 to 192.168.10.10)
thats it and dont tell anyone
