[QUOTE="AM92, post: 1106615, member: 169873"] Hello! I've recently bought my first Macbook Pro. I am trying to configure the thing to let me share files and printers across my network. I have a printer configured to share and allow connections to it, and I tried to connect to it via: Finder> Go> Server> smb://home-pc/printer name But whenever I get to this, I always get prompted for a username and password. Originally the Windows 7 PC doesn't have a password but when I try to log onto the server without a password, it says password is incorrect. I even tried to put a password onto the PC but it still denies it. Is there any way to get around this? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
