I have a shared folder on my desktop (which is on windows) that i want to view on here. It has been done previously on this laptop when it was running windows and it ran successfully.

 

On here I have gone to network > windows network > and that is blank o_O

 

So then I have go to Connect to server > entered the service type as windows share desktop ip which was 192.168.0.3 and I put the shared file name. This did find it and make a connection, but the folder appears as empty on here. It contains a few images in it and it shows up on my desktop.

 

Any idea's why its hiding the images? well everything o_O
