    having troubles configuring my smb setting is Wiimc. Cant seam to connect to network at all. I have tryed several ways and still Nothing . Im ok at setting up pcs , and the wii, But when it comes to networking, Im lost . cant even install wiimc channel1.2- 1.7
    Ill start with what i got that concerns with my problems :

    4.2U soft mod
    Homebrew 1.0.8
    wiimc 1.1.1 through homebrew channel
    wiimc1.1.2 through homebrew channel
    windows 7 on 3 pcs
    all 4 ip addresses
    wii set up with wireless ( have internet,and can down load)
    I have No passwords on my pcs but with network i do see
    all 3 pcs , and share files with out passwords being text-ed

    My files i have on my pc, and wanna share with the wii are located in my computer/users/ public / mp3

    I have been to Wiimc / settings / network/ add SMB share
    this is what i have when i fist open it

    display name :

    share IP: 192.168.1.X

    Share name :

    user name:

    Password : XXXXXXX

    I can fill in the IP that i know is right X = 1 #
    I thought the display name would be what ever i want it to be like (Mp3 ) for my file is called with the mp3 inside the file i’ll like to play

    Share name i had the same as the display name so i knew what i was looking for

    user name I tried leaving blank , and also added laptop , and or my name . same problem

    when i go to clear out password there is NO letters to back up and replace . I can add my 16 digit password in , but still shows 7 on display.

    been at this for a few days , and been reading blog , after blog and trying everything , but still No connection What did i do wrong , or missing

    thanx

    As I have posted numerous times:

    On the PC you must set permissions to “Everyone” under both “Share” AND “Security”, use the same name on the PC in the Share name field and put whatever you want in the displayname for display on WIIMC. Leave the Username and password alone until you get it working without them.
