New to using a Mac (2 weeks) and loving it so far with
this one exception: I cannot seem to get the Mac (Leopard) to
recognize two of the four members of the existing windows workgroup. Also, not recognizing a Buffalo NAS that is on the network.
It didn't recognize them originally, then I did something and there
they all were in Finder under Shared. However, I have since apparently
undone whatever I did -- as there are only two of the workgroup
members there now.
The two workgroup members I have access to are Win XP. The others I
cannot access are Vista.
I have checked file sharing permissions on the other machines and all
is OK. They all have access to each others shared files. My Mac
appears in their network list and they are able to share my public folders. So the problem seems one-way (Mac to PC).
I have file sharing checked with ATP and SMB. Still nothing.
Is it time to hire someone? Or is there something simple I am not
doing?
Thanks for helping the dumb newbie,
Brandon
