Hi Everyone,

OK im not real tech savy so be kind… I have my hub set up so it shows on the pc - can drag and drop files across.  I have  a shared photo folder that shows in Windows Media center  but not on the hub.  When I change the content source on the hub to ‘Network Share’ it comes up with 'No Storage Present"  I have googled and goodled and now am feeling totally all googled out.  If anyone has any Ideas please help. Thanks

Oh should probably mention Im running Version 2.06.10  - thxs

I see you have made quite a few posts here, and for that reason I ask:  Is this a new problem?  Did all work fine in the past?  It just seems like a basic network setup issue to me from what you say, but it it worked before, then I am stumped.

Unfortunately I  have never got this working.  Have always just transferred my stuff over directly to the internal storage.  Any chance you could give me some tips - Thanks

Do you know if your basic network sharing is working between two PCs?  For example, can you view photos, liaten to music, etc. residing on on one PC on a different PC?  If not, then you have not got your network set up properly and need to fix that first.

Can anyone else help this person with some ideas?

Might try this…

In windows 7 …

START–>COMPUTER–>HOMEGROUP–>VIEW HOMEGROUP SETTINGS–>CHANGE ADVANCE SHARING SETTINGS…

under the PUBLIC heading there is a PASSWORD PROTECTION SETTING…Turn that to off…

this helped me…so it might helps you too…

Thanks for the suggestions.  My password protection is off and the shared folders are showing on another pc. I just cant seem to get the hub to recognize.  Still comes up with “No Storage present”?

Any other ideas greatly appreciated.  Thanks
