Unable to connect to remote server
#1
I apoligize if this sounds like an easy or stupid question but i have searched, read, and tries various solutions for the past 5 hours and gotten nowhere, so here goes
I had a desktop running 7 with a 7tb probox external enclosure with all my movies,pict,and music. it crashed so i bought a new HP touchsmart 310 (all in one touchscreen/computer running 7 home premium 64bit. xbmc on a first gen appletv and it has worked very well till the new computer. at first it wouldnt even see the computer, but through various solutions on the site (thank you) i can now see the workgroup and even the folder I shared but when i attempt to open it it says "refused connection", then "unable to connect to remote server" I dont have any passwords, and its not asking for one, only "refused connection/unable to connect to remote server"
so far i removed windows live software, booted and rebooted everythng various times, verified ip addresses many times. I just learned how to post a debug log http://pastebin.com/ZdWQdekh (I think thats how it works)
I have verified permissions under sharing options, and i am very frustrated, any help would be greatly appreciated.

after continued experimentation i seem to be going backwards. now both my appletv (1) and my computer (7 home premium) can both get online but wont share. i've gone back to the beggining several time and nothing, could someone offer some sudgestions as to the common pitfalls i must be missing or doing wrong

thank you
