New laptop and trying to get with the upgrade from win 7 to win 8.1
Previously I had a Kworld media sever that logged into Win7 and played media files from a shared external drive.
Trying the same setup on win8.1 I can see the player from windows and vice versa, but when trying to login from the player login fails. Everything is on the same network and workgroup. I have tried the share settings, disabled the firewall but still fail.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Movies don't look quite the same on the laptop.

If I had to make a guess. I would be pointing fingers at the Kworld server.
