xbox media center finally works!

I've had the Mac since last August, and I've tried a couple of times to get the xbox media center to work, both times without any luck, and both times without a whole lot of enthusiasm. So I decided tonight that I want to watch some Sex and the City, and since I only have 13 channels, that means that I need to get xbmc to work. After trying a bunch of things, I finally noticed that there's a yellow exclamation next to the Windows Sharing checkbox under the Sharing menu. I highlighted "Windows Sharing" and it told me that the problem was that there were no accounts added. So I added my xbox account, and it started working! Hallelujah! I had also made some changes to the config, so that may have been another reason why it wasn't working. Here's the path I wound up using:
smb://user:password@192.168.1.199/Movies

So now I get to watch Carrie and the girls!
