I have disabled XP's Firewall and my Norton firewall. I can ping my Xbox. In fact, I can FTP into my Xbox using XBMC's Filezilla. I have tried putting the XBMC user account in different groups without aveil. Not even when I made it an Administrator! Here is the pertinent information from the XML file (which does open without errors in both IE and firefox):
<bookmark>
<name>SMB</name>
<path>smb://Mshome;XBMC:
[email protected]/Videos/</path>
</bookmark>
all of my other shares follow are identical (except the share name of course).
I have been troubleshooting this thing for the past three days! The most frustrating thing is I am a third year computer programming student who has taking 5 or 6 courses on networking. Internetworking Fundamentals, Networking - NT, Networking - Linux, Networking - Novell... okay. Maybe only four, but still!
EDIT: Also, since disabling XP's firewall my Xbox no longer hangs for 20 seconds before telling me "Access Denied". It pops up right away.
