Lan mode can see all my PC content

[Rocksteady]

Hey all,

I just joined this community in the hope someone can shed some light on my 'issue'. It is not really a problem, but I do wonder how safe my system is tbh.

The thing is that I have a cpl of droves and folders shared on my system, so I can watch movies and listen to music on my AC Ryan. However, when I enter LAN mode with BS player on my Galaxy SII, it can see ALL content on my computer. When I search my network from any other PC, it only shows my shared folders, which obviously is the way I want it to be. Do any of you experts know if this is normal, or what I could have done wrong with my security settings? BS player can even see my entire C drive, which does bother me a bit, after all, maybe my security is compromised or BS player has a way of seeing things.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

disable samba shares and system specific shares on the computer, that way you wont see drives and folders with the $ on them.

BSPlayer only sees what your server/computer sends to it. Something is incorrectly set with your sharing options. You aren't sharing all of your drives?

I'm having a similar issue, connecting to my Win7 PC, BSPlayer's LAN mode can see all of my PC's drives, appended with the $. They aren't shared so can't be accessed, but they are in the list.

There's also a folder called ADMIN$ that isn't one of my drives and isn't accessible either but I have no idea where it comes from, or even how to access it on my Win7 PC.

Could you advise how to get these $ drives off the LAN list?

Cheers

I notice you have fixed this feature in the current build. Mmmm... I actually really liked this feature - These folders are deliberate shared on my system and are protected my my user name and password.

Is there a way I can still access the hidden $ drives - such as a preference? Ideally with out having to add many servers called <ipaddress>/D$ <ipaddress>/E$ etc (I have many HDDs that I want to access on one machine)

Please return back to the way it used to be able to look at:
ADMIN$
C$
D$
IPC$
Or do to control this option in the settings
