Ongeloof Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 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 Think Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radov4n Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 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.

Ongeloof Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 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? Think Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radov4n Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 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.
