only one usb drive not being able to share to xtreamer mediastreamer

hi,
I am using windows 10 home (64bit) since a week after official realease (, upgraded from win8.1)
I have quite a few internal and external (usb) harddrives attached and share them via windows-shares (samba) to my xtreamer mk1 media player box. This works fine on most drives.
Some didn't work at first but i got that right with (re)editing permissions to "everyone" (read+write). also edited the security tab owner setting, whan tat setting was wrong. Everything but ONE usb drive (in my set-up it is the L-drive) is now sharable to my xtreamer box. The L-drive persistently does not let itself be shared, even though i have repeated all the steps that got the other drives sharable.
(sharing wizard & advanced sharing w/ permissions, same ownership as the working drives, edited to my win10 ms user account, share to 'everyone' with read and write permissions etc etc)

Nothing helps, this particular L usb drive is seen in xtreamer list of network media shares but cannot access, it asks for username and password and fills in 'guest' as user.
*(I have set password protected sharing to OFF.)
I tried logging on with both fields blank, with 'guest' and my win password, with win ms accountname and password, with only 'guest' and blank password. - nothin helps, i get a consistent "logon fail" and i cannot access this particular drive from xtreamer box.

It is not my most important drive for wanting to share on the xtreamer media player box , but i still want to be able to acccess it via shares.

Am i missing some vital setting or permission ?
Plse help....,

hi. I can also not access another USB drive the smae way on xtreamer, as it was also not connected during upgrade from win8.1 to win10. this seems to be a ownership/permissions issue , i have treid everything to correct this but to no avail. these two ub drives keep calling for a net id login to access the drive but fail to login on any login i type in there, including two blank login entries (id and password). evebn the win10 windows account id and pw dont work. plse help, this is very annoying.

i already searched the xtreamer forum but i'll post a thread there on the forum , as you suggest.
i thought i'd start at win10 forum as the problem only occurred once i upgraded from w81 to w10, having used w7 before 81 also with xtreamer successfully with smb shares.

Has this issue been solved? I am experiencing the same issue .... having my Windows 10 64bit laptop share my external HD. My xstreamer sidewinder cannot access it - same issue. but on another computer with Windows 7, xtreamer can see the shares.

Help how can this be fixed. I went to xtreamer forums but couldn't find an answer.

If you can't see the shares, you may need to open a port on the Firewall on Windows 10.

May I know what port(s) to open in this case?
