Networking my Freesat to my computer help please
My Set Top Box arrived, very happy. (STB)
OK the 1st Problem  It can see my computer (WORKGROUP-BORG-PC) through the LAN connected direct to the computer but when I try and access the computer from the STB it asks for a user name and password. AFAIK I have no user name or password set up. It just logs straight in. I'm running Win7 on the Computer and the STB is a Technisat HDFS The picture quality is brilliant.

"Borg" wrote in message o.uk... Forget that. Just found out that they can't be networked with Win7 Are you sure? You might have to do something like create a user account on Win7 specially for the STB. Win7 is flash but it's unlikely MS been stupid enough to stop it networking to other machines. Do a web search and I'm sure you'll find a way. Paul DS.

Check the advanced file sharing settings in the network and sharing centre (/center). Sharing has to be turned on of course, but you can turn off the requirement for other devices to use a password.

Technisat have admitted to a problem, saying that Microsoft changed the CIFS protocol for Windows 7 which allowed the HDFS to gain access to files on a PC...
