[QUOTE="karudzo, post: 376571, member: 17652"] More than likely, your windows machine obtained a new IP address via DHCP (providing you're using that) from the router and the Mac is looking for the old address. Try doing: ipconfig from a DOS command line on the PC and write down the IP address. Then map to the PC via IP address- it'll likely go through. I do that this way: [B]smb://192.168.x.x/name[/B] where x=IP 3rd and 4th octets and name=your shared folder name. [/QUOTE]
