[QUOTE="Aqua, post: 587084, member: 37545"] This was so easy in Tiger. At Christmas my puter was upgraded (?) to Leopard. Apart from some things that I'm hoping 10.5.2 will fix (for some reason ieatbrainz wouldn't work on tiger for me, but works now with leopard! also adobe cs2 refuses to install upgrades :Confused: ) I was reasonably content. Today I decided to rest my PC and put my mail on my mac... Putting thunderbird profile on my thumb drive would take over 2hrs???? so I thought I would direct connect... This was sooo easy with Tiger... but couldn't do this in Leopard :[ So far I have: enabled file sharing both smb and afp and both are enabled for both in the firewall. Tried to connect by finder -> Go -> Connect to Server In the PC I have disabled firewall, found the ip (I think but Mac says it's not there), enabled the folder/partition to sharing I connected the two but Mac just fails and can't find my PC at all... I've searched the net but I can't find instructs for direct connect with leopard (the only one I found was more of a rant with no success... Thanks in advance.. PS should I have posted this in the Switcher's forum? Has anyone succeeded with this or is it no longer possible with out added software... [/QUOTE]
