How do i get my dm800 hard drive to show up in windows xp? it showed up automatically last image i used but now its not there?

WORKGROUP is the network and im looking for it to show in My Network Place
 
make sure samba is turned on via the blue panel and check the

smb.conf is set for your network and group

the file is in ect/samba

[global]
load printers = no
guest account = root
log file = /tmp/smb.log
log level = 1
security = share
server string = DreamBOX %h network services
workgroup = Dream - change this to your workgroup name
netbios name = %h
case sensitive=yes
preserve case=yes
short preserve case=yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
preferred master = no ;(These stop the machine being master browser, which means that it doesn't waste time there.)

[Configfiles]
comment = Configuration files - take care!
path = /var
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes

[Harddisk]
comment = The harddisk
path = /hdd
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
 
is there anyway of editing a file on the internal flahs to add a few CIFS shares on my PC?

tried using the remote but it just doesnt respond very well at all

has anyone amanged to resolve this issue as its very annoying

You should be able to set up a share via the web interface mate.

Also, I swapped the remote for the genuine one I got with my legit 600, works perfectly, and the clone one works perfectly on the 600 too. I think a genuine remote is around £30.
