Homebrew Wii can't connect to FreeNAS Samba shares but Windows works fine, where are the logs?

[shawly]

Hey guys,

so I've used WiiMC to play old movies on my CRT, I haven't done that in a while and in that time I had to reinstall my NAS.
The thing is, I can't connect to my NAS anymore, not with WiiMC, not with FCEUGX, Snes9x GX or WiiExplorer, it seems my Wii in general has a problem with FreeNAS, since I quickly created a Windows share which it connected to just fine.

Can anyone tell me if there is any way I can look at some logs to find out why exactly the Wii doesn't like my FreeNAS anymore?

I've never used nas. But, why don't you just use file share and ftp. Samba is more for Linux

I want to play my movies from my NAS based on FreeBSD which I can't connect to and I wanna know why it keeps failing to connect and for that I need log files.

Nevermind, from the title I thought you were trying to stream from Windows.

Set Samba up for complete guest access.

Look on your server for the logged failures, not your Wii.

I found the reason why I couldn't connect, I had to add the workgroup to my username, I didn't have to do this before but now I seem to have to.. Seems the latest Samba update is the reason for this. And I had to allow guest access for some reason, I don't get why this is necessary since I have put in my username and password..
