Hey guys just dl'ed the new dvd2xbox trying to setup samba share:
Computer's name is My-Computer, the shared folder i have is "xbox games" and has no password username is Nim.

for the domain not sure whether to use the work group name ("home") the server  router address or something else?

This what my xml file looks like for the smb share portion anyway

<smb>
  <hostname>My-Computer</hostname>
  <username>Nim</username>
  <password>-</password>
  <domain>Home</domain>
  <share>xbox games</share>
</smb>

anyone got it to work- any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Samba shares work like the one with XBMC (its the same code). Dunno if it supports account with no password. Domain is the workgroup. Rest looks ok.
Try setup an account with a password and fill up each tag.

thanks Wiso- the wierd thing is for xbmc- i can get away with

<smb>smb//computer-name/shared-folder</smb>

Just wondering whether if no password is required, do i leave a "-" in there or should i delete?

Its no biggy cos i think that ftping is still quicker, and gives me a bit more flexibilty in where i can copy files, but i like to have every function of every app working , pointless i know

To be honest I don't remember my code  
Try to leave the password field complete empty and/or use an IP instead of computer-name. And don't forget to insert a nameserver if you want to insert host names (but the same is valid for xbmc so you know it already).

ok thanks dzv will try that when i get home- was hoping to use the computers name cos i have a dhcp enabled so the the ips are likely to change every so often.

Thanks again

The computer's name should work, I just never tried.  But try leaving the username, password, and domain blank.
