Re: Xbox 360 cannot see my network drives on WHS

You would need to log into the server via Remote Desktop and adjust the permissions on the shared folders. You would need to set them to Everyone for at least read access. And you can add Anonymous users with whatever access you need to give.

This is most likely a permissions issue. The 360 uses the MCX user account,
