Mins is perfectly accessible from my XP PC.
-Try \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (whatever IP address it has assigned)
-Is SMB/CIFS service enabled?

yes smb/cifs is enabled as RW trying to get in so i can create a folder to store my movies on so i can access them throughout the house no computers are working. need help please

Are your clients members of a domain or are you using a workgroup?

P.S. Another thing, after seeing the screencaps you emailed, it may be a firewall issue. In many cases you’ll have to explicitly allow access to a new resource.

im in a workgroup, installed Freenas to give it a shot and no problem came right up in XP made folders and copied a movie came out great, just want to use NASLite because it is more stable but if its not working who knows need help how do i make explicit exceptions????

On a number of occasions I have had XP systems in a workgroup return that "\\<servername> is not accessible, etc." message and traced the cause to the XP system allowing a default user with no password at startup.

If this is how your XP systems are configured, you could try adding a password to one and see what happens.

that definetly isn't it cause i use fingerprint technology to start my computer and it also has a password for backup, thanks but need another solution ASAP just got my 4x500gb hard drives TODAY and eager to install then currently running FREENAS, must wait patiently!!!!

OK GOT IT WORKING whewww had to do everything over now for some reason i can't format the hard drive im having a bad week lol
