Q2 ) Now I started my work towards the smb sharing .I have windoes XP pc with service pack 3 . I enabled the net work in WIN XP and and I could see the shared files in my PC (desk top ) in another computer . But My question is HOW COULD I access this files in ATV XBMC ...........Please do not answer look into the forum .....I searched the forum for few hours and .....I could not find any clear instructions to setup XBMC with windows share
.........Please some one post step by stepm process this would enable first time users like me to use the ATV XBMC with window share.
