simple to most i know but today i'm not most...
i want a connection from my mac to a friends vista pc but ive tryed all the things i know and i cant get it too work, what ive done is this...
plugged in an ethernet cable end to end, gone into system preferences>sharing>services and click on the boxes, personal file sharing, windows sharing, personal web sharing and FTP access taken off my firewall witch ive been told to do in the past,
so with the vista pc ive clicked on the same options file sharing, no password etc. So then gone back to my finder>network>user name, the icon befor the pc's name is faint and should be full colour any way i press connect and it takes about 20/30 secs then a box pops up asking me to fix alies so i click then not much happens after that. All i want to do is transfer my itunes music folder over to the vista pc....
tryed it the other way round pc to mac and a box on vista pops up asking for username and pass work, i know my user name but i dont have a password, i think the problem is setting up ip address but im in the dark when it comes to ip stuff. .. ... ....
(mac)
ibook G4, osx 10.4.9......with no password only username
(vista)
