Hi ewookie

I do not want to suggest that removing the update is a solution. It is a workaround that worked for me. In my case mplayer_ce 0.75 was working fine until it wasn’t. I tried updating to the latest build of mplayer_ce 0.77 with no luck, then decided to try WiiMC. No matter what I did my Wii would not connect to the SMB shares until I removed the patch.

Good Luck

how are you typing in the username? I would suggest trying somedomainsomeuser since someuser@somedomain isn’t working. It definitely won’t work if you are trying to auth a domain account from your wii (which is not a domain member) without specifying the domain in your username.

OK so I spent some time on the irc channel and I think we tried everything. If you have tried everything else and it is still not working try uninstalling Widnows update kb980232. Be warned that this update has been marked as critical and uninstalling it could put your computer at risk. more details are at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms10-020.mspx

Hi. I have tried all combinations of the previous instructions and still can’t get SMB sharing to work. I’ve used mplayer_ce for a very long time and had no problems. SMB stopped working with mplayer and I came to WiiMC to see if it was any different, but no luck.

I am using Windows 7 x64 and wiimc 1.0.1. always get error connecting to share messages. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
dagger
