++24" imac 3ghz / may-08+ ibook G3-500mhz-10g-384m-12", nov-07 +G4 quicksilver 867 mhz/512MB july/08
I am trying to get to the other files on my Imac ....quicksilver, and vice verse.



24" imac
G4 887mhz quickilver
lexmark wireless printer

linksys wireless router


for now......
both computers are hard wired
printer is hard wired via usb



FIRST ONE WAY....
so, when I try to connect the quicksilver to the imac, it says....

"connecting....timed out"



THEN THE OTHER....
when I try to connect imac to the quicksilver....

imac sees quicksilver,
and sees folder,

but then says..................

"folder drop box could not be opened because you dont have sufficient privlages"


How do I change privlages?


thanks!

do you just want to connect once and get the stuff of the G4 or keep them networked and continue swapping files between the two

I know this is odd but maybe try enabling windows file sharing on the quicksilver

Sharing your users' Home folders to Windows users is very easy with Mac OS X 10.3. Start by opening System Preferences -> Sharing -> Services. Select the Windows Sharing service from the list. If the checkbox to the item's left is not checked, place a check in it to start up Windows sharing. You will then see a message below the services box that says "Windows users can access your computer at" and then the SMB address of your Home folder on your Mac. Since all users' Home folders are now shared, you can simply replace your user's short name with that of another user to access the other person's Home folder.

You can access this share from a Windows machine by going to Start -> Run and entering your Mac's SMB address in the space provided. Upon clicking OK, you will be prompted for the username and password of your account on the Mac OS X machine. Once properly authenticated, you will be presented with the contents of your Home folder on your Mac.

Your imac can connect to its smb address and I think should see your home folder
