[QUOTE="dot1q, post: 1652698, member: 237327"] not sure what to tell you john. we can try to change the workgroup on your windows to something else. for example, change to : JOHN then goto your mac and join JOHN workgroup and try to login again. you should only need to login using John McDonald. btw, the name you see in the PC network that shows up is the NETBIOS name (not the computer name, although they could be the same). in your case MACBOOKPRO-C1D0 is your netbios name (sys prefs > network > wins).
