Share Name:

That’s got to be the problem. The name you put there is the same name you set when you created the share at the computer.

Follow this: http://qbx6.ltu.edu/s_schneider/howto/share_folder.shtml

That Share Name and the one you put in WiiMC must be the same

open the Windows file explorer in the new computer, just below the toolbar buttons there is an “Address” field, write there the IP of the computer with the SMB share (that IP should be the same you specified in WiiMC when configured SMB) preceded by \ and followed by the share name (what you used in the WiiMC “Share Name” field) then hit enter.

example:
\10.75.1.1myShare

Once you hit enter, wait a while, you should get a login window, where you should use the username and password you specified in WiiMC when configured SMB.

If everything goes fine you should see whatever you shared.

Nope, the only thing I can think of is any possible firewall in your computer. Have any installed?

Of course I assume your wii has an IP -homebrew channel tells you which is it- as well and you can browse the internet or read the news in news channel and that ip is very similar to the one of the computer (being the last number after the last dot the only difference)

Do you have another computer or pda where you can test if effectively you can open the smb share?

[gaetano]

Your Windows username and password, set it in WiiMC, where your configured the samba share

[gaetano]

Problem 1:
– did you made sure the password is properly set at the Wii and that you used the correct ip from your computer?
– do you have any firewall other than Windows default? if so… is your internal network set as “trusted”?

Winston, I had something like that, once I set the play type to “continuous” it worked fine, mine was set to “single play”
Hope it helps
