    File sharing from set top box


    Win 10 20H2, private file sharing turned on, public off. stbdaemon activated, \\localhost shows sharing folder, ping to set top box is OK via router.
    But could not get access to shared folder from STB. Connection failed. How to get access?

    :)

  3. File Sharing

    Hi Dwayne,

    The ability to share files within your homegroup can be set based on your preference in the HomeGroup settings. For us to identify if the file sharing issue is caused by the update or an option not being retained in the HomeGroup setting, we'd like to ask
    for additional details. Please answer the following:

    • Aside from installing an update, have you also made any recent changes to the HomeGroup settings?
    • What specific update have you installed before the file sharing stopped working? To check the Update history, follow these steps:
    • On the Search bar, type Settings.
    • Open the Settings app from the search result.
    • Click Update & security and check the Windows Update section.
    • Click the Update history link.
    • Have you already checked if the file and printer sharing is enabled in the
      Advanced sharing settings
      in the Control Panel?
    • What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried based on the threads that you've read?
    For initial troubleshooting, you can run the built-in troubleshooter for HomeGroup by following the steps below:

    • On the Search bar, type Troubleshoot.
    • Open the Control Panel from the search result.
    • Click View all and locate HomeGroup.
    • Click HomeGroup and follow the on-screen guide to run the troubleshooter.
    We hope to hear from you soon.

    setting up set top box for windows media center

    hi
    i recently got an hd tv tuner
    it works fine when i plug it in directly to the cable from the wall, but when i try to plug it in from my cable box, you can only hear static and the screen is black. i tried to set it up again and it recognized my connection as coming from a set top box. but when i try to finish the setup it wants me to add a remote from the cable box. this is where my main problem is, my cable box remote does not have any way to connect to my pc, besides the ir reciever that came for the remote that came with the tv tuner. so basically im asking is there any way to bypass the remote step and still have media center work with my cable box?
