Betz Stefan requested for more information:

Each host in your network have a so called "hostname". There a different ways to resolve Names in a network:
 * /etc/hosts
 * dns
 * netbios

If pyNeighborhood is unable to detect a share automatically via netbios
(the samba browsing known from windows), you should have an dns oder
hosts entry for this samba or windows server. In most small networks
(soho - small office, home office) nobody has a complete dns
infrastructure :-(

You can try //serverip/sharename instead of //servername/sharename,
which skips the dns resolution of your server. If this didn't work too,
a screenshot of you pyNeighborhood window maybe nice.

>From where have you "servername"? Is this simply the hostname from
windows?
