Colonel Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 in mac go to Go -> Connect to Server. Then a dialog box will come up asking you to type in the server address. Type: smb://(you're windows ip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Start -> Control Panel -> Network Setup Wizard Follow the instructions. When it comes to enter your workgroup name, delete MSHOME and type in WORKGROUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedragon1971 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Are both set to IP addresses in the same subnet? Did you supply your Windows account login and password when prompted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippin Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I have a Mac & a PC, both are connected directly with an Ethernet cable. But I can only access the Mac from the PC and not vice versa. When I try to connect to the PC on my Mac it always says wrong username or password but that's exactly the username & password I use to log on to my PC! Everything is ok on the PC, I can delete, move files on the Mac using the PC. Does anyone know how to fix the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
