Forum:Network Streaming

Recently purchased a screenplay pro HD. After connecting it to my network, it could see all computers on the network. It could only connect to the XP computer and stream files however. For laptops with Windows 7 and Vista, it asks for net user id and password - there is no user id or password that I know of though. Would really like to be able to stream media from all network computers, and not have to transfer all of my files to the screenplay's hard drive. Any advice? Benyameen 08:32, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * see this page for information on what username / passwords to set up so that it doesn't require a password entry. --JCoug 15:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Created an account on the computer with the username and password suggested on the linked page. Screenplay still asked for net user id and password however, and entering Realtek_guest, and Realtek_pw resulted in a login fail. Any other ideas? Can see I'm just going to have to use it as a hard drive, and forget the media streaming ability - a shame as this is what I bought the device for. Benyameen 11:04, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Are your computers on a domain? If so, screenplay can't see them because it isn't joined to the domain. Can you login from a different computer and see if you can get access to the first one with the Realtek_guest / Realtek_pw? Also, what version of the firmware are you using? If you have a firewall on that computer, try disabling it to see if the screenplay can login then (not a permanent solution, just to diagnose it -- put your firewall back up afterwards. If that turns out to be the case, then we'll look at specific ports to allow through). --JCoug 18:46, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Recently purchased a Screenplay Pro HD 500GB and at present quite happy with it apart from one problem that I cannot figure out or cure despite trying all the options shown My home network consists of Laptop (wireless) running Vista Main PC running Win 7 Professional HTPC running Win 7 Home Premium Buffalo NAS 750gb with 2 x 1gb usb drives attached ScreenPlay Pro HD

When I go in to Network on the SPP pro I can see workgroup and then can see all my networked PC's and NAS. I can access without any logons all my shared folders on all apart from the main PC which is asking for a Net User ID and password. I have never setup any passwords on that PC. Any help would be appreciated Richard
