    Question New user and sharing problems

    Hi, i'm new to both, Boxee and file sharing. Never did nothing like that.

    I do have a boxee with the latest firmware and a PC W764. Its a fresh new installation.

    Aditional info:

    Boxee is on cable since i was unable to config the wireless conection. No big deal. I'll see it later.
    File sharing is enable to everyone.
    I never set a password to my account. My only one account on this PC is admin.
    I dont know why but 1 of my 4 shared folders is showing on "My Computer" as a network location. But only this folder.

    I can see boxee from my PC but cant go inside the disk. It asks for username and password.
    I can see the PC from the boxee but i cant acess anything, it asks for password and username.

    I have 1 external drive on Boxee but what i really want is stream midia from the PC.

    Any help will be great, thanks

    Just enter admin in username and leave password blank and press ok. If that doesn't work try to add your PC under file sources by ip address.

    Thanks but how do i do that:
    Any tutorial around:
    First option didnt work...


    i did some progress here.

    I do have an W764 with a 1.5 Tb Seagate. That seagate has 3 partitions. I want to share 2 folders on 2 partitions.
    The folders are shared to "Everyone" with read and whrite , full control.
    Now i can navigate on folders but i cant see any file on it.
    Already set a user password and is the same on boxee settings.
    I did it by Ip adress.

    Please i do need help here.

    Edited:

    Funny thing, i just find out that i can see 1 kind of file. I can see rar files on it.
    But no movies or music and i do have 800GB of movies and series on those folders.
    really weird!!!

    LOL, i just dont know how to add a folder to share. Didnt realize that i have to get in the folder to add it as a source.
    Once done, everything is fine.
