Problems with getting Samba working properly

[cgc5483]

Recently updated to the 632 build of Vix 3.0. Since this I've had trouble seeing my Vu Duo on the network. I've enabled Samba in the Network but in any of my computers I can't see the VuDuo any more. OpenWebif, FTP and telnet is working fine. In windows explorer I can type the ip address and it will let me connect. However, I connect to the VuDuo using XBMC on another computer and using SMB I can't find the VuDuo so really need this working.

My log shows the following:

Im having a similar problem, with not being able to see my Vu+Duo in Windows 7 'Networks', i too have Samba installed, and i can see my other computers in this location.

Any help on these networking issues appreciated,

I'm having the exact same issue. Using VIX 3.0 build 6.32 on VU+Duo, samba is enabled on both boxes but they refuse to appear on my network.They ping fine and again they connect via OpenWebif, FTP and telnet. Any ideas on how to rectify this please?

Had a similar issue a month ago. Duo and Quad not recognised. Powered down both boxes, reset router, waited a few minutes and powered up the boxes, all fine since.

Tried that, didn't work for me unfortunately. I will keep at it until I do

Have this problem as well, systems can see the box but get error on trying to display folders... Same on both my boxes

...... Updated to 643 and now it works
