How do I access my shares if I'm on domain?

[vladk]

Hey,
My share is running on Windows 2008 R2 server which is a part of a domain. How can I use my share from Boxee? Boxee sees the machines on the network but I can't see the shares themselves and no matter what I enter for login/password I get connection refused.

Does boxee box even support domain environment?

Thank you.

I dont recall, in a windows domain can a system not part of that domain pass domain user creds? I'm not sure what the security settings in the 2k8 domain say about that.

Did you try to prepend your domain name to your username. Meaning your username would be "[thedomain]\username".

Have you tried enabling a guest account just to verify the most basic level of file sharing to the device?

Yes you should definitely be able to access the domain outside as long as you provide proper credentials. I am not able to provide domain\username, same "Connection Refused" error.

Has anyone had success with boxee reading a file share on the domain?

just saw this.

with a domain we can't auth to the domain controller since we aren't part of the domain. so domain\user isn't going to work.

what you need to do is have a local user account that you share folders under and auth against that. you can still keep the password protection

also, you need to know, if your domain has ipsec enabled you will have separate issues. ipsec policy basically forces everyone to be authenticated.

PM me if you hit issues - some of this is touched on in the faq
