Invalid Username or Password (Network Share)

I was browsing shares fine… Windows account was called “Chris & Jess”.  It took the username/password fine.  After some browsing and trying to add the share under the media library, it popped up the dialog for username/password again and it reformatted the username to something sloppy.  I re-entered it normally and it said invalid username or password.

I’ve tried renaming the user account to a very basic username like “user” and a very basic password.  I even tried removing the password.  I’ve factory reset the device.  I’ve rebooted everything.

I uninstalled Live Essentials (was only using Live Mesh) but I don’t have Live ID Login Assistant.  (got this idea from an older thread)

I don’t know what else to do.  Sharing is setup the same on my folders as it was when shares were working fine.

It fixed itself 10 minutes later.  I’m about to return this thing and I haven’t even watched a movie on it yet.
