hi,

first of all, i used the search and tried a lot myself, but i can't get it working.

when i try to acces a password protected smb link xbmx gives the error: "acces denied".

i used many different options to adress the link:

<path>smb://domain;username:password@computername/share/</path>
<path>smb://domain;username:password@computername/share</path>
<path>smb://domain;username:password@computername/</path>
<path>smb://domain;username:password@computername</path>
<path>smb://domain;username:password@ipadress/share/</path>
<path>smb://domain;username:password@ipadress/share</path>
<path>smb://domain;username:password@ipadress/</path>
<path>smb://domain;username:password@ipadress</path>
<path>smb://username:password@computername/share/</path>
<path>smb://username:password@computername/share</path>
<path>smb://username:password@computername/</path>
<path>smb://username:password@computername</path>
<path>smb://username:password@ipadress/share/</path>
<path>smb://username:password@ipadress/share</path>
<path>smb://username:password@ipadress/</path>
<path>smb://username:password@ipadress</path>

unfortunately, none of them worked. when is use xbmp the following link just works fine:

<url>smb://username:password@domain/computername/share</url>

in many topic people were adviced to turn of "simple file sharing" and stuff. but i run windows 98 se (yes, i know it's old and buggy, but i only got a p3-550). under windows 98 such fileshare options are not available.

it all worked fine under xbmp, why has it been changed?

thnx for the help.

try xbmc cvs from 25 may 2004 or later. (ps! smb implementaion completly changed since xbmc with the much better samba library)

if you are running win xp on the hosting pc, make sure your guest account is on....i've had problems accessing smb shares even with the admin log and pass entered unless i enable the guest account, since sometime in april i believe...

like i said, i'm running windows 98 se. this ain't got such features.

i'm pretty sure win 98 uses encrypted passwords by default.

you'll need to enable plain text passwords with win98:

to enable plain-text passwords, add the registry entry for
enableplaintextpassword (as a dword) and set the value to 1 in the
following registry location:


hkey_local_machine\system
\currentcontrolset\services\vxd\vnetsup


--------------------------------------------------
to set the value for enableplaintextpassword to 1:
--------------------------------------------------


reboot win98 and try again.
