Can´t get SMB to work with Windows XP

[toflex]

Hi,

for hours i try to connect my Wii with my PC (yes they are on the same network) but i always fail.
So here is what i did:

First i right clicked on the folder (in this case drive) and click on safety and security (my windows is german)

then to sharing and enable it:

Now i checked the IP of my computer in the cmd:

Here is my smb file of mplayer-ce (doesnt work):

#Max 5 samba shares (review menu.conf to add more samba browsing)

#no ip or no share means samba disabled

#It's important use quotes (") on shares with blank spaces, see example 2



#Samba share1  (smb1:/)

ip1=192.168.2.105

share1="WD10EADS (L)"

user1=user

pass1=pass



#Samba share2  (smb2:/)

ip2=192.168.2.106

share2=testsmb

user2=vista

pass2=pass



#Samba share3  (smb3:/)

ip3=192.168.2.105

share3="WD10EADS (L)"

user3=

pass3=



#Samba share4  (smb4:/)

ip4=

share4=

user4=

pass4=



#Samba share5  (smb5:/)

ip5=

share5=

user5=

pass5=

The second one is from the Vista PC and works. So it has to be a problem with XP.
It doesn´t matter if i use (admin) login or not (see 1 and 3), it fails.

And so it fails in Wiimc too.

Any idea?
I know my english is bad but hopefully you can understand me.
Thanks.

Are you using XP Home Edition?

If so, try setting up a new user account with admin privileges (make sure this new account gets a password). You may setup this account using Control Panel>User Accounts>Create New Account.

I’ve learned that SMB connections must have a Username and Password to connect with.

Mine seems to work fine without a username and password.
Then again, I am on vista.

Take a look at smb1.
I added an Admin User there.
