I finally got one of my watched folders working (second one isn't working
yet, but thats a different issue). However, on the client computer, if I
don't manually pull up the share through windows explorer beforer trying to
access the content , I get a video error.
In other words I have to logon to the "server" machine by
\computername\share and then it prompts for user/pass. I type in "anonymous"
and no pass, and lets me in, then I go to media center side and it will play
the content. If I don't manually logon first, I get a video error!
How do I get the server not require a name/pass , and just automatically
open the share when I do \compname\share ?
I believe I have done all the greenbutton recommended procedures for this.

Create a duplicate account on the server, with your username and password.
