[QUOTE="errorf0rce, post: 1023688, member: 148471"] Assuming you have sharing enabled, discovery on, etc. in Windows 7, from your Mac Finder you can select "Go" -> "Connect to Server...". Type in smb://192.168.1.5 (or whatever your PC's IP is) and click "Connect." You'll need to enter your Windows 7 logon credentials at this point to connect. You should then see your PC's IP listed under "Shares" on the left part of any Finder folder window. As far as Remote Disc, that is still a battle I'm fighting, haven't gotten it to work yet. I can mount a PC optical drive in a share, but that doesn't allow remote booting like Remote Disc does... <sigh>. If I do find out, I'll post back here. I'm wondering if it's a 64-bit issue, since I didn't have this problem before with Vista 32-bit and I can't find a single good post about this problem with Windows 7. [/QUOTE]
