Mac File Sharing with WD Live

Fed · Jan 17, 2013, 02:24 PM

Created a directory called WD Live on my Mac.
System Pref -> Sharing -> File Sharing -> Add WD Live directory.
Add user called wd. Everyone, and explicitly wd have Read access to the share.
On WD Live: Videos -> Network Share -> Select Mac -> Enter credentials.
"Invalid username or password"... I know for a fact, after entering it three times, it's correct.

Has anyone done this before - anything I'm missing?

Any thoughts are welcome.

EDIT: OS is Mountain Lion. Using PS3 Media Server for now.
