[QUOTE="khiester, post: 891118, member: 116068"] Hi All, Just another update, if you'll continue to humor me here... I tried to direct connect the two machines with an ethernet cable, thinking that maybe somehow the router was the problem and was preventing the machines from accessing each other properly, but no luck there either. Another observation is that whenever I am directed to enter my username and password, the default user name provided is always the MB username and not the PC username. This doesn't make sense to me, because I'm trying to log onto the PC and not the other way around, but it occurred to me that maybe I need to configure the PC to see the MB as a registered user? Finally, through the "advanced" button in "network" in "system preferences", I was able, I think, to specify the workgroup name to match that of the PC, but that didn't seem to have any affect either, which is too bad since I had kind of pinned my hopes there. In any event, if anyone has any bright ideas, even if they are a reach, I'd appreciate them. For now, I'm stuck transferring files over 2 gigs at a time. [/QUOTE]
