Now that everything seems to be working fine, I cannot see my windows shares on my myth backend.
I had a shortcut to it and that is not working. I also have manually put in the network location for the shares but no joy.

I also cannot see my mythbackend shares (I am running samba) on any windows machine.

I can however see the samba shares on the MediaShare Mega

What do I need to do on the windows side to see the samba shares?

In the network on the windows boxes I see localhost.localdomain: MythTV AV Media Center.
The only files in that are the video files in my /storage directory.

All of my data is stored in /storage1
I did set up samba shares to /storage1 and I can see the files on the MediaShare Mega by Klegg.com

I am assuming that something is not right in WIndows XP and a Vista Ultimate machine.

I searched around for hours but I could not fix it with the registry tweaks out there.
