i am trying to get my media player to connect to my pc, which is running windows 32bit home (i believe), sp3.

i have a little media player that i got a while ago now, which is plugged into my network in order to stream files from my pc.

it can see the shared directories, but when i try and enter the directories i can't get past - "logon fail", is all i get.

now i have turned on the guest account, tried that.
i have created additional users, with and without passwords, and had no success.
i've just turned off the firewall in the hope that might do something, but again nothing - logon fail.

am i missing something here? any help appreciated. p.s. please don't make me go and capitalise all my words properly, i am quite ill and it feels like it suits my mood appropriately. :(
