I have windows 7 and 8 my computer. Windows 7 has no problems but with windows 8 my dune HD can't browse my shared folders. When I look in network browser it's always empty. I know they are shared because I can bookmark shared folders/drives to my home page on dune HD using windows 7 and when I select the shared folder from the bookmarked home page using windows 8  I can access my shared files in that folder. But I dont see them when I browse all network shared folders.

Problem is I can never stop using windows 7 because I need it to add the folder or drive to my homepage as a bookmark to be able to access it with windows 8. Windows 7 doesn't have this problem only windows 8. I can access the shared files and folders from another computer with windows 8, just not from my Dune HD (media player). the dune uses samba to fileshare.

And I'm afraid windows 10 will have the same problem because it's something that was changed in windows 8 in the way windows shares folders and drives.

I don't know if it was a new security feature where browsed folders and drives won't show up to prevent someone outside the network to see them or what

Hello Scottvf,

I apologize for the delay.

What network browser and bookmark do you mean? The application from Dune?
Please share us a screenshot for analyzation.

with windows 7 browsing I can see all my shared drives and folders. and with windows 8 it shows up as empty. but if I click on a bookmark on the home page that was created using windows 7, I can access the shared folder using window 8
