[QUOTE="scoostraw, post: 1787220, member: 209163"] I changed the workgroup name on the PC from WORKGROUP to MYGROUP. And then changed it to MYGROUP on the Mac I can't connect to as well. Restarted the PC and then neither mac would connect. So I changed the PC workgroup name back to WORKGROUP and restarted it. (I did nothing else) After that both Macs appear in explorer again, and I can connect to the old one but not the new one still. Changed the workgroup name on the mac back to WORKGROUP and restarted it. Same as before. I'm puzzled why the workgroup name on the old mac is blank - and that's the mac I can connect to. [/QUOTE]
