problem adding SMB share setting

[vakejanssens]

having troubles configuring my smb setting is Wiimc. Cant seam to connect to network at all. I have tryed several ways and still Nothing . Im ok at setting up pcs , and the wii, But when it comes to networking, Im lost . cant even install wiimc channel1.2- 1.7
Ill start with what i got that concerns with my problems :

4.2U soft mod
Homebrew 1.0.8
wiimc 1.1.1 through homebrew channel
wiimc1.1.2 through homebrew channel
windows 7 on 3 pcs
all 4 ip addresses
wii set up with wireless ( have internet,and can down load)
I have No passwords on my pcs but with network i do see
all 3 pcs , and share files with out passwords being text-ed

My files i have on my pc, and wanna share with the wii are located in my computer/users/ public / mp3

I have been to Wiimc / settings / network/ add SMB share
this is what i have when i fist open it

display name :

share IP: 192.168.1.X

Share name :

user name:

Password : XXXXXXX

I can fill in the IP that i know is right X = 1 #
I thought the display name would be what ever i want it to be like (Mp3 ) for my file is called with the mp3 inside the file i’ll like to play

Share name i had the same as the display name so i knew what i was looking for

user name I tried leaving blank , and also added laptop , and or my name . same problem

when i go to clear out password there is NO letters to back up and replace . I can add my 16 digit password in , but still shows 7 on display.

been at this for a few days , and been reading blog , after blog and trying everything , but still No connection What did i do wrong , or missing

thanx

As I have posted numerous times:

On the PC you must set permissions to “Everyone” under both “Share” AND “Security”, use the same name on the PC in the Share name field and put whatever you want in the displayname for display on WIIMC. Leave the Username and password alone until you get it working without them.

I got it working with all 3 computers . I wasnt making the file i wanted to share , in the root of my hd drive ( c:/Music)
