accessing samba from android

Options

‎08-08-2012 11:24 AM

Hi all,

Just bought and set up my 2tb goflex home, I can access the drive through samba from my computer running Linux and also from my boxes box in order to stream my movies, TV show and my music.

I also want to access my drive from my android phone and nexus 7 using es file explorer, the server appear on the list but it doesn't allow me to connect using the credentials I use on the computer and boxes box.

Is there a setting to allow WiFi connect ion that I missed?

Looking forward for your reply,

Regards

Hi, I don't know why, but if you scan and then try to log into the server the scan finds, it doesn't work, but if you add the server manually it does.
