CIFS Login
Hello Forum,
I have posted this problem on the “Network & Sharing” forum, unfortunately, no one was able to come up with a viable solution. I’m posting this problem once again on this forum in hopes that someone may be able to help solve my problem. …see below,
Can someone please tell me just what a “CIFS” used ID & password is? Where do I find this CIFS login Information? I recently purchased a LG Blu-ray player (model BD670) and successfully added it to my (wireless) network. When I try to access my computer from the LG player it brings up a “CIFS Sign In” screen which is looking for a user ID & Password. My home network consists of 1 PC (Windows 7, 64bit OS), 1 Router (Netgear wireless, model WNDR37AVv1), and 2 LG LG Blu-ray Players ( model BD670 WiFi Built-in).
I’ve tried entering my PC login / PSWD, tried logging into CIFS using the guest ID / PSWD, also tried logging in using the ‘Home Group’ password (using HomeGroup as the ID), none of these ID / Password combinations worked. I do not have ‘Windows Live Essentials 2011’, ‘Windows Live Sign-in Assistant’, or ‘Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant’ running on my PC. I have also turned off password protected sharing in the Network and Sharing Center.
By the way, I also posted the ‘Microsoft Answers’ forum; http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/how-do-i-know-what-the-cifs-sign-is/6b900999-5ff4-49a0-856f-ab80178caf56?page=4 I have tried some of their suggestions, but still no luck.
…any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated!!
