I have read the wiki thoroughly and nearly every forum post related to this but alas, still no luck.

I am running XBMC on my ATV2. Working great but, I can not get my macbook added as a video source.

I have turned on file sharing for my "TV" and "Movies" folders.

Here is what I input after clicking "Add Network Location..."
Protocol: SMB
Server name: *my macbooks ip*
Shared folder:?
Port: 0
Username: *my macbook username*
Password: *my macbook password*

For the shared folder should I just put my HD name(the whole thing is shared) or the actual path on my computer to my shared folders: *//mhd/Users/me/Movies*

Everything I try seems to return an "Operation timed out" error

I know this question is asked a ton but help a brother out! I am new to the XBMC community and super excited about it. You guys all seem awesome.

Thanks.
