I don't have it

Here are some further registry 'tweaks' if this doesn't work:

I have been trying to figure out this net user id and password issue.

If this below is supposed to be the answer it does not help me because the values shown below are not in my registry.

I used Windows 7 Home Premium.

1. Navigate to the following location in the registry editor (search regedit in the start button).
MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
2. On the right side, double-click on 'everyoneincludesanonymous' and change the 'Value data' from '0' to '1'
3. Double-click on 'NoLmHash' and change the 'Value data' from '1' to '0'
4. Navigate to the following location in the registry editor:
MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManSe rver\Param eters
5. Double-click on 'restrictnullsessaccess' and change the 'Value data' from '1' to '0'
6. Close the registry editor

I did this and rechecked it. When I go to my Workgroup, and click on my PC, I get a logon failed message.

I cannot access any of my shares.

I just checked my Playstation 3 and all the shares are accessible.

I am stumped re: the PBO, and I am starting to get pissed off to say the least.

Have you tried to remove MS live essentials if installed on your PC? Somehow it interfere with the connection from the PBO.

I don't have live essentials. This was also a problem with the popcorn hour I used to own.

What it came down to was rechecking the registry changes. I had screwed up on one value.

Then the BIG difference maker, just like popcorn hour, was to unplug the power cords from the router, pbo, and pc.

Why is it that many of these media players use unix type software? I am not a programmer type.
