[QUOTE="wezman2k, post: 724587, member: 32519"] Right, I've already done all that. This is really, really ticking me off. I've been playing with it more this morning. Here's the scenario: I want to be able to share my music folder (or whatever else) over the network. In other words, I want my roommate to be able to connect to my "iTunes Music" folder as a guest, and copy off of it what he will. I don't want anyone to have to enter in any login information so I'd really prefer to be able to do it as a guest. The problem here, however, is that my iTunes music folder will not show up on his computer in his Finder window. The strange part is that his shows up on mine with no problem. I went onto his Macbook, enabled his iTunes music folder as shared, made sure everyone had read only permissions and it's fine. I go on my MBP and connect to his through the finder and everything shows up...I can copy whatever I want over to my computer. I'm using the same settings on my MBP and my iTunes folder won't show up for him while connected as a guest. My Public folder shows up, and if I drag my entire iTunes Music folder over into my public folder, he can access it no problem, but obviously I don't want to leave my iTunes Music folder in my Public folder, I wanna be able to share it from any directory. I'm having no problem doing this on my friends Macbook but it just won't work on my macbook pro. They're using the same versions of Leopard and everything. If I log in to my computer from his under my Admin user ID and password, the shared iTunes folder shows up and again, we have no problem. Furthermore, if I enable a folder like "Pictures" or "Documents"...it DOES show up on my roommate's computer under a guest account. ***, why is this totally random...does this make sense at all?
