[SOLVED] Configuring Windows To Access Moode USB Drive

[TheOldPresbyope]

I suppose their might might be a concern that any new NAS-like configuration may still pose a problem with access from the Windows 10 boxes, especially if the one Windows box that does seem to connect is going to be retired.

@kurek, since you reminded me that you can access the moOdeUI from the recalcitrant host, can you use the net commands to connect via the moOde player's IP address?

I'm not in a position to say that this is a magic bullet, but here's an example of a connection:

Code:

C:\Users\Kent>net use N: \\192.168.1.184\NAS
The command completed successfully.

C:\Users\Kent>net view \\192.168.1.184
Shared resources at \\192.168.1.184

moOde SMB Server

Share name  Type  Used as  Comment
-----------------------------------------
NAS         Disk  N:       NAS Shares
Playlists   Disk           Playlist Directory
Radio       Disk           RADIO Stations
SDCard      Disk           SDCARD Storage
The command completed successfully.

C:\Users\Kent>

and I can now see the contents of moOde's NAS share under "My PC" in my Windows File Manager. The advantage of this test is that it avoids questions of mDNS and WINS, yada, yada, yada.

I should note that I do *not* have SMB1.0 / CIFS file sharing support activated on this host. My moOde players don't show up in the Computers section of the Network view of the File Manager, but they do show up as UPNP and DLNA hosts in the Media Devices section.
