I've got all of my video setup in a share on my WHS called "Videos". I've granted read permissions to Guest for the entire share. When I browse try to add it to my Media Library on the Linksys extender or XBOX360 it doesn't show under my WHS. Actually, the only share that does show is "Photos", which has the exact same permissions set...?? I remember having to go into the security on the folder itself and manually adding the extender user, but I can't find that user on my WHS or on my Media Center machine either. Are there some concrete instructions for setting this up so I can actually use my media on these extenders?
I know I used to have it working, but since upgrading the HTPC to Win7 it hasn't worked, and I've been too busy to dedicate any time to getting it working until now...
Thanks for the help!

What version of WHS are you using? In version 1 in the WHS console in the settings there was an option for Windows Media Center extender access against the folders

I'm using version 1. Never upgraded to the new version. I'll check that setting tonight, but I'm fairly certain I've set it so extenders have access to the folders. Anything else I can try? I thought I remember seeing a guide to setting this up before, but it's been a couple years and I can't find it now...
