Hi all,
just bought a MacBook (OSX 10.4.8) but still wanted to connect to the old PC (Windows XP)
I followed all steps imaginable and, from the PC, I can see/alter files in the Mac and the printer (HP 3100 Photo all-in-one).
From the Mac, I can see the PC, see the shared folder but not see/access any file inside that shared folder (I can even see how much space is left on my PC's HD, but not the files. go figure)
What happens is that when I click connect to the server (the PC's name is correct), it askes me to select the CMB/CIFS shared volume I want to connect to, already displays the SharedDocs name (the name of the folder on my PC).
If I press Authenticate again, it asks me for a worksgroup/name/password that Windows itself did not ask me when I was defining that folder as shareable (only the workgroup). No password will do! Not even after creating a new user/password on the XP and using this new user/password here.
If I press OK - it says the alias cannot be openned because the original item cannot be found (and gives me options to Delete the alias or Fix it)
Any ideas?
