Windows file sharing

[Paxcou]

I can't enable Windows file sharing, when I click on it, I can't keep it checked more than one second !
It's strange because yesterday everything was ok... Can you help me !

Check your cables at both ends... If you connect via hub or switch check there too! If everything seems fine check your Windows box network settings...

From your Mac if you have an IP setting manually 100% by clicking the Windows file sharing everything should be fine...

Still, I think there has to be something wrong with your physical connection even if it is wireless...

Let us know what gives... And as Chevy said your current settings too!

i dont think windows sharing can startup if there is no network connection, either ethernet (en0) or ppp (ppp0) or airport etc... Basically because you dont have an ip address (unless you use static ip instead of dhcp)

Is you network plugged in?

try going to terminal and typing

ifconfig en0

you are looking for this line

media: autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active

it will be either active or inactive.
