    I keep my media files on a couple of shared network drives on a windows 7 computer. I did all the recommended tweaks to make windows 7 able to be accesses by the simplest ways. I have all my 5 computers on the same workgroup name. All of the computers and even a mvix 760hd(moded to 780) see the shares without issue. They work awesomely together.

    Now the Retarded side. WDTV LIVE PLUS is on the same WORKGROUP too and it doesn't see the network shares at all BUT the media server on windows 7 is visible. I can stream Media Server files over an over this way.

    But get this... I rename the workgroup name on the sharing computer to Buttpirate and like magic--> network shares are visible on the WDTVLIVE PLUS(which by the way is still on the workgroup of every other computer in the house). THIS IS SO STUPID.

    The firmware on this thing needs to be updated yesterday.

    Not asking for help here. Just stating the networking on this wdtv live plus is completely retarded.

    current firmware 1.03.29_B
