That's the best way to summarize the problem.
The Media Player is a Zidoo x10 that uses OpenWrt for the interface for the LAN, (not WAN from what I understand from others). I can access the HDD on the X10 from a Win 7 PC, but I can't login due to a username and/or password issue.
I can access the Win 7 PC from the X10 with absolutely NO username/password issue using 'X-plore' (Android Explorer type program).
Based on M$'s typical lame error messages which usually are wrong/don't tell you anything, I think it's a O/S-Network issue but I don't know what or where.
The PW & username is correct that I assigned to OpenWRT and I don't believe there was/is any other username/password assigned to the box itself.

Note; I can access up to the HDD name in the x10 'sda1'.

Any ideas here from any Windows Networking experts?

Check the Samba > General Settings and make sure you have ticked the "Allow guests" box for the share. There shouldn't be a need to type any username or password.
 
VB1 is the name of the PC, Windows lists it that way. I have no control over that.

All the entries for sda1 have guests listed as 'yes'.
 
I was wondering about that. I did see someone else's screen shot of that and he had 2 identical entries.

That doesn't look right. Is sda1 removable storage perhaps? So that each time a different device is inserted it gets sda1 even though the UUID is different.

I would delete all those entries, reboot the device and see if you've got just one entry.

EDIT: You might have multiple entries because there are multiple users each with different access rights. I'd still set it up from scratch though.

sda1 is a 3TB HDD.
The only other removable media is a USB flash drive, but I've never saw it listed there, but I never looked for it either.

There is a Micro SD card default for the O/S as local storage. That is never removed.

I'm the only "user", I just listed two for a buffer of sorts. here is the log in page.

On my windows machines that means a domain name VB1. Windows is trying to find a domain controller to validate the login.
 
I deleted all 3 entries, rebooted and it found the drive x1. I went to the PC and BANG, back in business. Someone tell me why that action fix the problem and why wasnthere a probelm and why it manifested itself as what it did which really had nothing to do with the probelm (as usual)??
