[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 987752, member: 17886"] Jeeeezzzz, sometimes it's really hard to find the cause of a problem... @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/lehmden.109222/']Lehmden[/URL]: Your Problem is not related to mine, but I'll try to reproduce yours and will Report back in your other thread. My Problem is probably a very rare one but I wanted to document it here anyway in case someone else runs into it. It's not a bug in MP2, but a strange behaviour of VMWare... My development machine is a virtual VMWare machine - and this is the cause of the Problem. As described above, when EnumerateResources tried to enumerate the resources in "Microsoft Windows Network", the return code was 1208, which means "Extended error". I added some additional code to call WNetGetLastError and the result there is error code 6118, which means "list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available." So far so bad... When I open the Network Neighborhood of Windows, it Shows me all other Computers in my Network. But when I open a command prompt and enter "net view", I get exactly the same error 6118. My conclusion is therefore, this is not an MP2 Problem, but a VMWare Problem. Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve it... What I did is start the Server on a physical machine and only run the Client in my virtual machine - and suddenly it worked... So if someone should have a solution to my VMWare Problem, I'm happy to try ;) A last remark regarding the necessary Settings for this to work: I was a Little confusing to me to find the credentials-settings in Settings/Server Settings/Network Credentials For me it would make more sense to either move the Homeserver Settings from General/Connectivitiy to Server Settings (which would be best imo) or vice versa. Finally, it would be good if there was a warning if someone tries to add a global share without having entered any credentials. Took me 10 min to figure out that this is missing... :p cheers, Michael [/QUOTE]
