HD TV Media Player Problem

ketherin

Can anyone help with the problem I have trying to stream from my home PC, running Windows XP, service pack 2 to my Hisense 1080p HD TV Media Player. I have a LAN network over the electricity sockets (Solwise Homeplug)

On the media player I can select USB or Network
When I select Network I see my home PC computer name.
But when I try to access the PC to see the shared folders I get prompted with a login Id & Password.
Each time it fails with "Login Failure".

I have used every ID on my PC all are administrator ids but to no success.
Even created an admin id & password of media but still no good.

Does anyone have any ideas please its driving me mad, wanted to stop transfering films onto a USB stick and watch them directly from the PC:(

Thanks for you help

Have you tried your windows username and password?

Have you enabled file and printer sharing on your XP host and allowed it through your firewal/anti virus . PS i would suggest updating XP to SP3

do you have your account so you have to log in?
if not set it up that way
then use the account username and login password

Thanks for the replies, but I've managed to sort this out, I has Windows Xp Home installed this does not have the full networking software, although you can go to files/folders and select share as normal, but although it all looks like its work nothin happends !!! Put Xp Pro on and it was all OK
