Hey folks.
I'm having an issue with my Popbox V8 streamer which I had connected to my home network to view movies on my TV. Everything was working fine until a couple of days ago when suddenly the device started to ask for a password and login to access my PC. The machine is not password protected.
I tried creating a new workgroup, tried setting a password through the advanced networking settings (this is Windows 7), and basically everything else I can think of. I made no changes to the machine being accessed. Nothing works. The only thing I installed within the past week was MS security essentials, but I don't see how that could possibly block devices from accessing my PC.
Help please!
