What do you use to stream your media files with SMS?

Well, since I’m using a Linkstation Pro LS-1000GL (v2) with firmware 1.15 (latest one available), there might be a difference between those two. I’ll keep it in mind.
Your SMS.smb looks exactly like mine. Btw, did you create/edit it using some other text editor than the simple Windows Notepad?
Concerning the share you’re accessing with the PS2: Is it restricted to certain users (like here) or available to anonymous ones?

i created the file using notepad, nothing else
im the only one using the nas, except my girlfriend so i do not need to restrict the access , but anyway i specified in the smb file to access as admin, no idea if those credentials are used:)

I use USBFlash drive at 90 percent of the time. Rarely HDD with rack.

60 gig usb HDD with movies and tv shows on it...
