[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 997114, member: 89124"] Hmm, try sharing your public folder with everyone permissions rather then the Mac HD itself, I've never tried to share the root HD on a mac before, usually on windows they are shared as administrative shares that are hidden (ie: to access the C:\ share, you'd look for \\computername\c$) If you don't have any other Apples on your network, you might as well turn off AFP, you don't need it on. Some people reported having some success by turning the sharing off then back on. I had a long thread at apple forums about this general topic, let me see if I can find the link and add it into this thread. edit: addlink for apple forums thread... [url]http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2141888&tstart=0[/url] I did notice I had more trouble seeing systems when on wifi then on wired lan. [/QUOTE]
