[QUOTE="AVchemE, post: 1076074, member: 163757"] Do you mind trying all sorts of stuff anyway? I have smb and file sharing enabled. A couple days ago I woke up and couldn't connect with the computer's name, only the IP address, same with accessing the macbook from a PC. In other words, from finder I go to "connect to server" and type smb://Erics-PC And am told that no such system exists (trust me, it does). If I type smb://192.168.1.110 I can connect just fine. And like I said, on the PC typing \\Erics-Mac fails, but 192.168.1.105 in windows explorer works just fine. Any ideas? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
