I'm having some issues with XBMC (Xbox Media Center)... Okay, first off I cannot get the ftp to work from my xbox to my PC, but I can still ftp from my PC to my xbox. I can't get any type of connection from the xbox to my PC. I'm using two network cards to connect my Xbox to my PC (one for regular internet use). info: Xbox ip: 192.168.0.3 Network card ip: 192.168.0.4 bookmark: <bookmark> <name>SMB connect</name> <!-- You can use one of these following formats: !--> <!-- smb://domain;userassword@ip/share/directory/ !--> <!-- smb://userassword@ip/share/ !--> <!-- Only if guest/public access is enabled: !--> <!-- smb://ip/ !--> <path>smb://192.168.0.4/</path> </bookmark>
do you have the folder on the PC that you are trying to get into set up to be shared on the network? If not it can not access it. to do this right click on the folder on the PC, choose properties, then the sharing tab. then where it says network sharing and security click the line of text that says: "If you understand the security risk and want to share files...blah..blah..blah) and enable sharing of the folder.
i do not remember putting in a share name, but yes. my biggest problem was finding the correct option on XBMC to connect to the network. Since there are several there. are there any network settings that you have to set up in XBMC? I fooled with mine so long ago i really do not remember what i had to do to make the connection work. but this is what i think i used. http://www.teammodders.com/forum/internet-connection-sharing-for-the-xbox-or-other-console-t714.html
Ok, I tried that. I have internet connection but whenever I use SMB i get 'error: <bunch of numbers> share not available'
i will really have to fool with mine to see what SMB option i am using to connect. I know there are a couple and only one is going to connect to your home network on the PC
