What happens if you provide just a random ID and password?

It accepts random username and pasword. But nothing happens. I can not see my shared folder on that computer to which I would like so save my save point.

I believe that to do a safepoint to a windows Share, we require a valid user name and password. You will need to create a folder, assign a user that has a user name and password, then create the safepoint to that folder.

Today I set up username and pasword for file sharing and still have the same problem. From other computer I can acess thise shared folders vith username and pasword without problems.

Any other suggestions?

When you discover the Windows computer through the Safepoint interface on the My Book Live. Do you see the share reported? If you do, do you get a dialog box to enter user name/password?

When I click on computer, interface asks for username and password. But then, I can not see any shares reported. If i input some random username/pasword there is no error and no shares.

I tried to clean all browser history and restarted MBL with no sucess.

You need to make sure that sharing is turned on for the drive. In Windows 7, you would right click on your hard drive icon (say Drive C),  click on properties, then sharing - make sure Network File and Folder sharing is turned on.

Added whole drive C under share. Still no success. Any other ideas?
