Samba Sharing

[lofgents]

I am used to adding samba shares from Kodi on my PC and Android but cannot get it to work on the Vero 4k.

I have a PC running on W7 and a laptop on W8.1 both are in “Workgroup” and I connect with an asus ac68u router. My PC has folders with Various videos and as previously stated I can set up shares to the W7 PC without any problem.

When I try and add a share through Windows Network SMB - Workgroup and my PC I get “Operation Not Permitted”
If I try through manually adding a share through add network share and inputting the ip address of the PC the folder and user name and password I get “No Route to Host”

Firewall is disabled and router is set up as access point so no firewall involved.

Am I missing something any advice appreciated.
