Can your clients see the media files in explorer?

Jmone, Thats exactly what it was.. On clients i had taken off my passwords, and done a reg tweak so that upon reboot it would skip windows login screen and bring the family straight to jriver. Well by doing so that made the clients not have access to shares. Once i re-enabled the password on client machines. it worked again.

Thank You :)
