Hi,
Samba is now preinstalled in Home v2.1. You can access your xbox by running "\xbox oot" in windows, or if this doesnt work "\xbox_ip oot".
What are you not clear about this. Explain what you have done till now and someone should be able to help you..

The Gentoox user manual which is really easy to find if you have eyes wrote:Samba
-------
Samba shares are now activated on your Xbox. You can access them from windows by going to the following SMB share names
SMB share | Target | Default Status
---------------------------------------------------------------
\xboxc | C: | Unmounted - Safety precaution
\xboxd | D: | Unmounted - No media in drive by default
\xboxe | E: | Mounted
\xboxf | F: | Mounted
\xbox oot | / | Mounted - Can't unmount
---------------------------------------------------------------
If the above share names do not work, try replacing "xbox" with your Xbox's IP, e.g.:
\192.168.1.13c etc...
When asked for a username/ password, supply your root details (defaults to root/ xbox)
Please note that drives must first be mounted from linux to be accessible over samba! To mount C, type "mount /mnt/fatx/c", to mount D, type "mount /mnt/cdrom". Also, ANY samba user can edit, make or delete files from your drives. If you find this too insecure you have a few options:
1) Disable samba by running "rc-update del samba default" as root
2) Change the permissions by running "pico /etc/samba/smb.conf", scroll to the bottom and change all "Writable = Yes" to "Writable = No"
3) Change user passwords, this can be easily achived through webmin: http://xbox_ip:10000/samba/edit_epass.cgi Click the username whose password you wish to change, then enter a new one. Its advisable you change them ALL or delete them ALL but one user, and change the remaining user's password!
4) Dont enable it when asked on first boot!
Don't complain about this being so insecure - only root can access F so this was the only way!
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?

you usually need two backslashes and the name of the server
Shallax could you change this on the manual
Code: Select all
\\xbox\xbox oot
