I wasn't sure if this was the best place to put this, but I figured I had to start somewhere :)
I have a Windows Vista machine and a MacBook Pro running OSX (10.6.7). I am trying to set up file sharing between the two. I have gotten as far as getting the Mac connected to the Vista machine (via Go > Connect to Server) and am able to pull files from Vista onto the Mac.
The problem is getting connected to the Mac from Vista. When I pull up the "Network" area, I do see my MBP there, however, when I open it, all I see is "Printers". I have the default "public" folder shared on my MBP. Can anyone tell me why this is not showing on the Vista machine and how I can fix it? Thanks!
