Cant browse PBO on Windows 7 PC

[Tyrantv]

Gentlemen !

Ive spent the last two hours trying to figure this one out but its not happening.

I just got my 2.5 320GB Sata 3.0 in the post. The drive works fine. I can copy files from my PC over the network cable to the internal drive with the PBO interface.
(This would also indicate to me the network connection is ok [Edit: Another indication network is ok - can stream podcasts in IMS menu)

But I cant browse to the PBO from my Win7 64Bit PC.
\\192.168.1.11 and then I get the error "Windows can not access \\192.168.1.11"
Same error with \\venus
I can see VENUS in my Network but cant browse, same error.

Also on the Transcode server when I click on "Visit Neighbour" - Open Host error.

I can browse 192.168.1.11 in my web browser and see the page where I can add torrents but having issues adding torrents also.
"Internet explorer can not display webpage"
Then I refresh the page and get some xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <report>
- <operation>
<command>List</command>
<return>OK</return>
</operation>
- <daemon>
<status>active</status>
</daemon>
- <torrent>
<total>0</total>
</torrent>
</report>

Ive tried downgrading the firmware to p02 and back to P70R2 several times and reformatted HDD a few times aswell.

Any suggestions ?

Thank you !!

Can browse PBO and DL torrents on a Windows XP netbook.

Been researching this issue seems people have similar trouble with NAS servers.
Its got to do with a old version of Samba which does not recognise NTLMv2 authentication.
There are some workarounds I tried like. Editing the registry to allow for NTLM and LM authentication which didnt work. People with Win7 Pro/Ult can change this on the UI using gpedit.msc. But I dont fancy paying to upgrade to see if that might fix it.

Others suggesting updating samba to 3.3.4 which allows for NTLMv2 authentication. The pbo uses 3.0.3 I think. Couldnt find a guide on here how to update samba and I have the latest firmware already.

Anyone fix this problem before ??
