Hello,
I have just installed a BS5/BM5 and I'm now trying to connect to BM5 from my mac.
I have read through (and googled info) threads with similar topics but I can't figure out where to find the username and password.
The BM's network is working and it responds at pings.
On the mac I can call the BM5 via "GO/CONNECT TO SERVER" and then type in "smb://<BM5 IP ADDRESS" but then it prompt for "User" and "Password" I don't know what to type.
I have tried to use the username I found under "Service Menu/Network Info/Username" ("BM-USER"). For password I have tried to type in a new one under "Service Menu/Network Settings/Password" but it dosen't work.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Thank you to our Sponsors

it’s possible that you have no shared drives set up. If that is the issue, Use a usb keyboard and mouse to go into the service menu (the windows screen) and set the E: drive to shared.
