Hi all,
Initially I configured the homegroup network with my old laptop (Windows 7) and shared several maps with the Raspberry Pi which is running Kodi. It all worked nicely. I had no login information on this laptop so I had to use the default xbmc/xbmc login credentials to get it to connect to the map.
Now I have recently bought a new laptop which has Win10 installed. I had it join the homegroup network and shared a folder. I adjusted the general advanced sharing so it would be visible for everyone.
However, what happens now is that whenever my old laptop is turned on, I can select it while trying to create a new SMB share on KODI. I can view its shared folders etc etc.
I can also see my new laptop in the list, however it asks login credentials and whichever I use, it doesn’t work. (xbmc/xbmc doesn’t work. I tried my Microsoft account login credentials but failed as well. I have new set my laptop to not need login credentials to login but nothing works).
The weird thing is, whenever I put my old laptop in sleep modus (or off), both that laptop and my new laptop are out of the list.. So somehow they are connected? Why doesn’t my new one stay in the list when it’s up and running?
Also, any idea on how to get it to connect? It keeps returning to the login screen..Before it kept saying something like ‘Connection refused’
I’d be grateful forever!
Thanks.
