despite all the threads on this forum relating to this issue,
i've also checked out:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107804
and I cant seem to figure out what im doing wrong connecting my mac osx 10.4.6 to my pc (xp pro sp2)
i click GO > connect to server... enter: "smb://192.168.0.103"
result: nothing. the button doesn't even budge. I tried using same command in terminal window, enabled both windows sharing, and file sharing..
when i click network, my workgroup shows up, then when i click on my pc, it shows as an alias, but when i click on the name it says: "the alias could not be found, please check the alias name or try again"
any ideas? here's my setup:
- Mac OSX 10.4.6, no firewall software, all options checked on built in ethernet
- Pentium 4 PC, XP SP2, security software with firewall enabled for trusted zone (192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0) <- this is standard
- dlink gaming router, all settings configured properly, my two pc's can share files no problem, so its just a matter of getting the mac to access those pcs
thanks for your help!
