When I use the OpenElec OS Settings and fill in: 'Xtreamer' and save and reboot. My Windows computer still not connect based on the Computer Name. Only the ip address works.

Therefore I have to use the samba.conf file and manually configure it for this to work. This does work but also sometimes it loses the name finding on my Windows computer.

workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = xtreamer
