Pulling My Hair Out With Smb
« on: May 24, 2004, 04:45:00 PM »
On my PC, I made a shared folder from my My Music folder called Music.

I'm trying to share it with SMB, and I'm pulling my hair out. I'll list everything I've tried so far:

<path>smb://DELL4300/Music/</path>
<path>smb://DELL4300/share/Music/</path>
<path>smb://WindowsUser:Password@DELL4300/Music/</path>
<path>smb://WindowsUser:Password@DELL4300/share/Music/</path>
<path>smb://192.168.0.2/Music/</path>
<path>smb://192.168.0.2/share/Music/</path>
<path>smb://WindowsUser:[email protected]/Music/</path>
<path>smb://WindowsUser:[email protected]/share/Music/</path>

I've tried all of those without a / at the end of Music as well.

Now, I can FTP to my Xbox, so I know the connection is working. This is just giving me needless headaches.

I'm using Windows XP Home, and my username has no spaces, and neither does my password. I've used the correct computer name (DELL4300), and the same IP that I use to FTP to my Xbox.

What the hell could I be doing wrong?

this may be just a spelling error, but if its the case, then this is your problem:

<path>smb://WindowsUser:[email protected]/Music</path>
is what you want, but use the IP of your computer, not your xbox IP

also, on the ones where you used your computername, you didnt specify the WORKGROUP... perhaps that is your issue in that case.

<path>smb://WORKGROUP;WindowsUser:Password@DELL4300/Music</path>

yea, I meant that 192.168.0.2 was the IP of my PC, so the IP address I did should work.

Now, what's WORKGROUP? How can I find this out, or set it?

I finally realized my Norton Internet Security was causing the problem, even though I had it disabled.

not it looks like this for me:
smb://WindowsUser:Password@Computername/SharedFolder  <
