i Am having real trouble getting this to work, it doesn't work on my iMac either. i have 5 windows PC's in my house, all networked and fine, but when i see them in my shared panel in the finder menu, even if i have guests on the winbloze PC enabled, it still doesn't work.

When i password my windows machine and type in the user and pass in the finder, it still doesn't work. any tips on how to make it work?

i mainly want it to work on my iMac

Use smb. In finder, "connect to server" type address like "smb://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd" where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is obviously the address of your win machine. Then enter user/pwd, but that user must be present (registered) on win machine in order for this to work. Works flawlessly on my win machines, both xp and vista/vista x64.

i have tried it. it lets me do the SMB thing, but when it comes to typeing in the user and pass... even though i don't have a pass... it still doesn't allow me. when i put a pass on my win machine, it still doesn't work...

 

Anything i need to enable on the win machine?

Maybe.. try sharing the drive / folder on the target machine? In permissions for that drive / folder add this user. I think this is how i have it set up. But with proper user/pass it should really work without sharing.

 

Sure thing, let me know how this works.
