You can configure the login data of the desired SMB share through the `smb.conf` on the SD card as follows: ~~~ ip=192.168.1.100 share=Public user=wii pass=somethingelse port=445 ~~~ For it to work, you **MUST** use a dedicated user in Samba. Guest shares won't work. Also make sure you have **`security=user`** set in your Linux `smb.conf`.
