I'm running Sam Nazarko's image with Crystal HD card on an Apple TV 1 in my living room. In the bedroom, I have an ATV2 running XBMC that has no problems accessing network shares hosted on a Windows 7 machine on a wired network; the hosting machine has all access controls (that I can find) disabled on the drive I want to share.
When trying to add an smb share location via XBMC browsing on the ATV1, I get to the "WORKGROUP" page, it tries to connect, but then gives a "connection timed out" error. I've also tried direct entry of the (static) IP of the Win 7 machine with the same result: the "Working" message with the swirly circle, then "connection timed out." The ATV1 has no problems accessing the internet; I can scrape data for movies stored on the internal disk, ssh into the machine from the Win7 machine, etc.
There are a number of older posts that indicate removal of Windows Live Sign-in Assistant as a fix, but it doesn't appear that my machine (fresh Win 7 install) has that installed. In addition, XBMC running on my ATV2 has no problems accessing the same share location.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Chris
