Windows 7 Cant see file sharing from ziova Z500

roscored1000 · Sep 30, 2009

Hi I am using RC7100 and for years have used XP to run my media files through a Ziova [coldstream] Z500 network media player. But once I changed to windows 7 I cant now see those files. I can see the PC but not the files. I think it is a SMB problem but dont know how to fix it and it is driving me nuts as I have all my media files on that computer and I dont want to go back to XP to use it.
I have given everything that i can think of permission, drives, folders, etc and twiddled with various settings but to no avail. I can see the laptop files running vista home premium but not Windows 7. Any help appreciated.

Fully Working Solution for CS615

I have just posted this on the Whirlpool Forum where other people were having the same problems as everyone here. This solution works for the CS615, but probably not for earlier models that don't support NFS shares. Anyway, here's a copy of my post below:

I have a CS615, which used to work fine using SMB with WinXP and later Vista. I have just installed Win7 and have tried everything to get SMB file sharing to work with no luck. Eventually I gave up and sent a message to the support team. I received this reply:

Hi
Windows 7 sends an incompatible smb directory list status field
There won't be a firmware release for this

Looks like unless something changes with...

------------------------------------------------------------- So how did you get in contact with Ziova Support - they seem to have dissapeared entirely?
