under "Samba File Sharing", check both "master Browser" and "WINS Server".Newb question, how do I access an attached USB drive on N66U flashed with Shibby v107 AIO in Windows?
My android phone can access it but cannot figure out how to on Windows 7. I see the USB drive in "USB support" and its mounted. And under File Sharing, I have enabled it.
Thanks!
getting this error:start - run - type
\\router ip
under "Samba File Sharing", check both "master Browser" and "WINS Server".
Workgroup Name should be the same as win7
From win7, you should see it under network
did you click save. Re-saved and check.

Follow the instructions on post #3. To find out what the Workgroup name is, right click on computer, click on property and then scroll down to see workgroup. If you don't have a workgroup name, you may have to create one.
BTW, because it's not apparent, the OP appears to have literally typed \\router ip and \\routerip into Start/Run (to open a Windows Explorer window). He did not appear to type \\192.168.1.1, which is what he should have typed (that's his router's IP address). The instructions given to the user made the assumption he could figure that out on his own -- this is often not the case. Welcome to why one has to be extra verbose these days.
You can also try from a Command Prompt the command net view \\192.168.1.1 to get a list of shares, if any.
The issue with accessing the router by its NetBIOS name is a separate issue. Start with seeing if you can access it by the UNC path \\192.168.1.1 and if you can, then the next step is to figure out the NetBIOS bits. This is often painful/tricky given how Samba works and how Windows behaves (the OS revision (XP, Vista, 7, 8, etc.) often matters greatly).
