Samsung BD-P3600/4600 Connecting Wireless To Macintosh

[tigger5]

For those having problems getting the Player to see shared files from your Macintosh wirelessly, this works.....

Macintosh Part-----
1- In System Preferences>>Network>>YOUR ACTIVE CONNECTION>>Advanced>>Appletalk, place a check on "Make Appletalk Active"
2- Make sure your network settings are correct...simplest way is after setting them..test...then test if your mac is seen....if all is ok, just to be sure shut down the samsung.
3- On the Mac, open System Preferences >> Sharing
4- Select "Filesharing" from the list on the left
5- Add "Shared Folders" to the Shared folders list *** I have multiple HD's, so I just added the HD(s) I wanted to the list
6- AND THIS IS THE MISSING LINK....click on "Options" under the Users list and SELECT "Share files and folders using AFP" and "Share files and folders using SMB" and PUT A CHECK on "on" next to your account

Samsung Part------
7- Turn on the Samsung AND WAIT a few seconds (so that a wireless connection is established)
8- Press the left arrow until you see the RED A at the bottom of the screen to Perform a Network Search
9- Press the RED A on your remote and then select MANUAL
10- Enter the i.p. of the Mac, then press the BLUE button on the remote
11- Enter the name of the shared folder (EXAMPLE: One of my HD's is named 500 Gig (1) so this is what I put EXACTLY as is..spaces, caps etc), then press the BLUE button on the remote
12- Enter your user name (used on the Mac...if you are not 100% sure on how it's typed, open system preferences>>accounts and find it there) and press the BLUE button on the remote
13- Enter your Macs account password exactly as you would on your mac, then press the BLUE button on the remote.

Note: Pre firmware 2.04 (?), everytime you close the Samsung, you will need to renter all the info in the player the next time you want to use the wireless features...Firmware 2.05 and above should keep the info...need only connect (Red "A") and click through with the BLUE button (Blue "D").
I and some others have written Samsung asking to remedy this...I suggest others do the same....
