Popcorn Hour a110 issues

[antc]

Hi,

I am looking for some help with my popcorn hour a110 and getting it working with my homeserver to stream movies across my wired network.

I have an issue currently with my popcorn hour where it will see my windows homeserver, it can see all the shares on there but wont connect into any of them. I just get the error "request cannot be processed"

I have tried all sorts to resolve this including the following -

1. turned on guest account on WHS and left password blank
2. created a specific username and password for my popcorn to connect with
3. turned off WHS firewall
4. tried browsing manually to share from popcorn
5. manually added share to popcorn in network share section
6. updated firmware on popcorn
7. added in the admin account (for my home server) and password to the network share page of the PCH
8. made sure all upper or lower case letters of network paths match (apparently this makes a difference)
9. have tried the smb path with name and ip of server to see if it made a difference.

Just to confirm my smb share - smb://homeserver/videos
share name is set to homeserver:videos
then i have user name as administrator and have entered the relevant password.

I am really lost now, other people at work have got this working fine with much less effort than what i have gone to here.

Semi-random suggestions to try to track down the problem:
Can you ping the PCH and server (in both directions) by name and IP address?
Can you try putting your server IP in instead of homeserver in the smb share?
Also have read that jumbo frames or some upnp servers on the network can upset the PCH)

Have you tried myiHome? I use this with no problems at all on my A110.
