I am trying to share files between my Macbook Pro running Leopard (wireless) and my desktop PC running Windows XP Pro (wired).
I can see the PC in my shared list in Finder. I select my PC in the list and it shows me the shared folder on the PC. However, when I try and open the folder I get a popup window that says: The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "shared folder" cannot be found.
I can connect to the PC using "smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" in the "connect to server" dialogue. Once it connects, my shared folder appears in the list of volumes to mount. And when I select it I get a popup that says: The volume "shared folder" could not be mounted.
I have gone over all the network settings on both my PC and Mac according to postings in this forum as well as a number of tutorials on other websites. I even disabled the firewall and antivirus on both machines to see if that made a difference. It didn't. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong or how to make this work?
