[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1126025, member: 74879"] Well, you may not yet have fully understood the concept of a windows network. Sharing folders on one PC is not giving access rights to the same PC from another system. In fact these are two different things and access from another system does require credentials. The easiest way to ensure that the groundwork is laid would be to have all PC's in your network be part of the same homegroup. Although this is not mandatory, it is probably the easiest way for a non-expert to inter-connect PCs at home. Notwithstanding, if they are not within the same workgroup (or domain) they may not even see each other, as you report for one of your clients. Set up a homegroup and have every PC in your local environment join it. It could be that clients still have trouble to connect with the TVServer, which would then due to incomplete firewall settings. But give the homegroup a try first. [/QUOTE]
