[QUOTE="maxwell2112, post: 1319338, member: 220738"] Hello all, I am new here but it seems like a great board. I have a file sharing question. I have had my MBP for a week. So far I have successfully shared files with my Vista computer; it just happened. In Finder, in the left column under "shared" I can see every computer in my house. When I click on my Windows 7 computer, it shows all the shared folders but when I try to open one of the folders it always says, [B]"The operation cannot be completed because the original item for '[I]whatever folder[/I]' can't be found." [/B] I have tried the smb:// (ip adress) and (computer name) and it says the same thing. I have also determined that the workgroup name does not seem to matter because when I change it on the Mac and close the window, it changes back, and still I can share files with Vista. I have AVG internet security with firewall on the win 7 computer but I get the same thing when I turn it off. I have also turned off the firewall on the Mac to try......same thing:Confused: I have been Googling it for a few days and I cannot find anything that works. Any suggestions? Because I can share with Vista, may I safely assume it to be a Windows 7 security setting or something on [I]that[/I] computer? [/QUOTE]
