Trying to get win7 to see S89h over wired network.

[Dartman]

Pretty sure there is a answer here but can't seem to find it. Been playing with my new toy a few days, installed Finless 2.1, got XBMC installed, ES file manager, etc. Figured out how to get the thing to see my shares from the wired network and everything seems to play nicely now, but can't get win7 ultimate to see the S89 on my PC here
My OLD WDTV Live had the hacked FW that allowed it to keep the USB ports alive and I had 2 big externals hooked up that I had mapped to my network so they were just like any other drive except for transfer speed.
My newer Pivos Aios will show up whenever it's turned on but the USB ports shut off when it's in standby so I left the Live online just for the extra drives.
The S89 so far will sorta show up when XBMC is loaded but doesn't share the drives and was hoping there is a way to get it on my network. Pretty sure I've missed something stupid or just don't have the right app to do it. So far 7 doesn't seem to see it on wireless either but not as big a deal as everything critical has a 1gig slot.
So anyways, any help or pointing me to the right way to make it work would be great, Thanks.

you can also use sambadroid, actually each Samba-Server-App.

I use the ftp server built into ES file manager called "remote manager".

Only thing is I have to manually start it each time the s89 is restarted.

For remote view/control I use webkey app.

Well so far Sambadroid is actually seen by windows, though the USB drives aren't showing yet It does see the tint sdcard that I installed the firmware from so it's better then what I had. Now I need a keyboard and mouse, the remote typing and sorta mouse button suck.
I did find out my really old Logitech MX5000 bluetooth does work, mouse included, but I only have one for now.
Thanks for all the ideas, i'll give em all a shot and see which one works best for me.

The free version of Sambadroid supports only one share. But you can edit the share-path to /storage/, so you see all storages on device.

Thanks for the info, I was just trying to figure that out and found that option on ES file explorer but it didn't want to take the ftp share it said to type in so I said screw it and played with Sambadroid again.
Didn't try that option in it but was getting there, got frustrated with all the buy me crap to upgrade, realized so far it is the only app I've tried that works over wired LAN so said screw it and bought it
I had to add each storage device, then tell it to allow guests so I don't have to type in a password each time, but now it works like I wanted all along.
The pro/upgrade me to add features price was only 2.09 anyways and it works great now and seems fast enough over my network. Supposedly only works with fat32 drives so if anyone has huge drives with different formatting then that might be a issue but it sees my 1.5 and 2 tb drive fine so far, plus the internal and external SD cards.
