The Background
I am trying to connect to my XBMCLive machine from Windows XP as directed on [url=http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/xbmc-ion/module/7][/url].
My samba/smb.conf file contains the following:
My router's DHCP client list displays: XBMCLive and 192.168.0.100 next to the relevant local connection. I am currently signed into the XBMCLive machine via Putty.
The Problem
1. When I attempt to connect by typing "\\xbmclive" in my Windows Explorer address bar, I receive the following error message:
2. If I similarly try to connect to the IP address instead, by typing "192.168.0.100", I am taken to a page which contains only three lines of text to the effect of the following:
I cannot connect to any XBMCLive shared drive.
The Question
What could be the problem? And how can I successfully log in to XBMC remotely to transfer files?

The Problem
1. When I attempt to connect by typing "\\xbmclive" in my Windows Explorer address bar, I receive the following error message:
Quote:Windows cannot find '\\xbmclive'. Check the spelling and try again, or try searching for the item by clicking te Start button and then clicking Search.
2. If I similarly try to connect to the IP address instead, by typing "192.168.0.100", I am taken to a page which contains only three lines of text to the effect of the following:
