I've Never been able to setup a scan to file on a Ricoh copier...

Few tips,

Make sure you can access the shared scan folder from another PC.

Try to use your PC name for Service Name rather than an IP address. (Might make no difference)

Use your entire user name (CMD whoami command)

Add a password to your user account and add this to the authentication of your scans folder in the address book.

I also remember someone mentioned something about Win 7 Home not being as easy to setup as Pro.

Just turned it off...no difference

You may like to buy a cross over cable so we can help you eliminate a step in the network.
For now don't use win8.1 for you PC-MFD test as it uses SMB 3.0 security policy. You can set it to drop down to lower security later.
Your MFD firmware must be upto date. The SPC232 is an older machine so it will be limited to windows 1.0, 2.0 SMB.

As stated previous, disable your firewall software while you test the SMB side of the software. Try reducing the PC 128bit encryption down to the lower setting.
Try turn off password protect sharing. Make sure you set a user name & non-blank password for your MFD reguardless.
Use windows 7 home premium for your test bed until you get the settings working correctly in your setup.
SPC232 is a pain sometimes from memory it may require power off an on after each config change.

Post your PC IP config and your MFD IP config settings to the forum...

Keep smiling.... help is at hand.

If you do not want to use a login password then do Start - Run (or for Windows 8 Windows key + r) and type "control userpasswords2" and press Enter. Uncheck the box Users must enter a user name and password and highlight the User Name that you want as the primary login. When you click apply you will be asked for the password for that user (leave blank if there is no password). When you boot the computer you will go directly to the desktop or Start Screen. You can then set up a scanner account with a password.

I had one last week on windows 7 we had to turn off password protected sharing

I believe that only works if the pc is not in a domain; if it is, there's no such option, I think.

This check list may help also ensure you share the folder with everbody

Thanks I'll keep a copy of this in my tablet for use in the field too.

Have you tried setting up an FTP scan? I use a FTP utility from Konica Minolta that seems to work as a great substitute when I can't get SMB to work. Let me know if you're interested in trying it and I can email it to you with setup instructions.
