First, I have been using XBMC (OSX version) for 2½ years without this problem - so I'm not new to either XBMC, networking or Windows 7.
My problem:
I have XBMC (10.0) installed on my Mac Mini (OSX) and have several shares on my Windows 7 PC. I have streamed media files from these shares to XBMC/Mac in the past on a daily basis without any problems.
Today these shares can no longer be accessed from XBMC. XBMC simply refuse to connect with the username/password (which I know is 100% correct). I can acces the shares from OSX itself (from Finder) with the same user name and password. It's only XBMC that suddenly refuse to connect to them.
I can also access and stream files from my NAS server from XBMC without any problems and XBMC can see my Windows 7 machine and shares in the network - just not connect to them via SMB.
I have tried to restart my router, Mac, XBMC, Windows 7 PC - nothing helps!
I have also tried to change the password for the user, and even use another user that I know works - problem still persists for any user.
I have also tried to disable the software firewall on the Windows 7 PC.
Any idea what's going on there?
Any suggestions or help would be nice - thanks in advance!
