we would need to know what the error message is first.

As Phoenix said, please let us know what the error message says. As default, samba is not installed, so when you open the menu, it should ask if you want to install. If feeds are unstable, you will need to allow unstable updates to install...

I tried to connect again to-day without success. I have even tried cifs share like garyblas said and i still can't link up. when i first attempted streaming i was using a hp laptop, this time i have a new laptop and i still can't connect. I have no idea what I'm missing. The ip address is static, though i now have one question, what ip address goes where, i just not sure anymore. I installed stream plugins to-day , no luck. This is doin my nut in. I like to think I'm like most folk whenever i try to learn something new i keep trying until i succeed , but this has been going on for mths. The box isn't a clone it genuine off of W.O.S . Is it possible to get a step by step guide that includes what should be in place before i start?


Thanks guys for trying to help me sort this out. Appreciated

It seems the samba error was due to the skin I was usin. Its up and running again, after the box lost its channels a week ago.I will try to stream later in the wk to see if it works this time.

Thanks guys for your support.:thumbsup:

Which skin was that?
