I fianlly got my Xbox connected through the hub after hours of it not working, and when I was in the Media Player options, i noticed the SMB was Windows shared folders.

I have 16gig of MP3's in my hard drive that I'd hopefully be able to use on the xbox through the network, now that I have seen this option, I wanna know how but will need basic help (what goes where etc)

This is the default setting but obviously not right

Log on name - Password - Full Computer name - Workgroup - and share name..

Maybe this will help you..

Well if your on XP make sure whatever user your logged in as has a password. This way you can fill in the approperiate info.

it don't work, i don't fully understand this, i have put in:

<url>smb://guest:********@mshome/troy/MP3'S (D)</url>

my workgroup is mshome, my computer name is troy, the shared folder is called MP3's (D), what else ahev i done wrong? i just got to the network (smb) option and its just blank

Try right clicking on the mp3 folder and enabling sharing. (so the hands is displayed under the folder icon)

Enable sharing if you haven't done so.

Add a user to WindowXP/2000 with user privileges. You can setup restricted privileges if you're concerned about security.

I.E
-Add a user xbox/xbox
-workgroup name is workgroup1
-share c:\music as music
