[QUOTE="doolally, post: 994309, member: 142945"] I've used PC's for years and networked them with no problem. Decided to "go Mac" at Christmas as I'm a keen photographer and liked the imaging sofware etc. So I now have an iMac and MacBook and love 'em! But trying to get all PC's (where a lot of my images are kept) Mac's to see/speak to each other - not a chance! I have: desktop PC running Win 7 laptop running Win 7 iMac running Snow Leopard MacBook running Snow Leopard All are connected wirelessly to router except the Desktop PC which is ethernet. PC's are visible to each other and macs are visible to each other and resources/files can be shared easily but cannot get the Mac's to see PC's and vice versa so can't share files. The strange thing is that all can be pinged to each other (Mac to PC etc) but I cannot get Mac's to show PC's and PC's to show Mac's on their respective network screens. I have been all round the houses reading forums and fixes but nothing seems to work so any glimmer of help would be hugely appreciated. doolally [/QUOTE]
