[QUOTE="jacobdol, post: 22100"] I am yet to change the SMB settings but here's what's been happening now: After I restarted my mac, it sees the windows computer but when I navigate to Shared folders they appear EMPTY in the Finder window :-| Then, I also tried to connect to the mac comp from Windows PCs by going to Add My Network place and typing mac's IP address and it seems to work to the point where I get a login window with my user directory \\s.comp\[username] and it asks for a ?password ?! I tried entering my mac account password but it does not work. Is it because my account password is only four chars long and windows thinks it is not secure or what else? what kind of password does it need? Or may be my Mac would not let the PC connect to it without some weird password being setup? Why cannot they just all get along? :-) [/QUOTE]
