XBMC and Samba problems
#1
About a week ago I bought a pogoplug. Its a 25 dollar device that I have installed archlinux onto and have attempted to setup a samba server to stream media to my apple tv running xbmc. I am a college student living in a house with 4 others so security is a priority to me. I have the samba server setup for only my username to access the shared drive. I can map the drive without a problem On my windows pc but when I try to mount the drive in xbmc, I enter the username and password and then click OK and then it just refreshed the page. It says "Could not connect to network server" This is my samba configuration file.

Quote: [global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = TAGSVR
netbios name = TAGSVR
security = share
load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spools = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
dns proxy = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072 SO_KEEPALIVE
[media]
comment = media
path = /home/tag/data/media
valid users = tag atv
public = no
writable = yes

I can't mount the public or data mount.
Is there a variable that I need to add? I am doing this all with no prior linux experience. Any help or direction is appreciated.

Give xbmc.log and turn debugging on (see first link in my signature)
