I always had shares automatically available in the file manager with my n800 and n810 by using the avahi services (also makes bluetooth devices automagially browsable)
I installed avahi in the n900 but haven't had any success yet...
There are some manual tweaks that need to be done after installing avahi (e.g. renaming some files in /etc/rc2.d so that avahi gets started after dbus) -- perhaps I am forgetting some of the tweaks....
I'll play with the working n810 to see if I can figure it out...

Thanks. I worked out what I had to do. Never paid any attention to the 'share media' option in Windows Media Player. I enabled it, accepted the first authentication window, and works fine. Don't even need to have Win Media Player running or even have your PC logged in, just have the PC switched on, and N900's Media Player and File Manager finds it. Works a treat. Thanks, Ian

I was previously able to access my NAS drive through file manager but now i can see only through Media player...so basically i can listen to music...but i cannot copy paste or move/ delete any file.

Any SOLUTION?
