[QUOTE="Abbie, post: 1367080, member: 237201"] I can see and share Mac files from my PC but can't seem connect to the PC from my Mac. I did have this working in both directions at some point. Here's what I've done to try and troubleshoot this issue. The PC and Mac are connected to the router by ethernet cable. I've verified that the PC's IP address is correct, by running ipconfig on PC the side. I've disabled Windows Filewall and I manually turn off ZoneAlarm. In Finder, I select "Go", "Connect to Server". I enter smb:// 192.168.1.30 in Server Address, click "Connect" In the "Enter your name and password for the server...", I Connect as a Registered Guest, the name field is filled in (with my name), password is blank. After entering my password, I get "You entered and invalid username or password" The user name and passwords are the same for both machines. On the PC it's the only user and I'm an admin. Running Win XP, SP 3; OS X 10.6 I don't know what else it could be...Any suggestions are appreciated! [/QUOTE]
