Hi, awesome forums!
I'm sure this has been asked before somewhere on macrumors, if so sorry for the repost but I need help stat before I take a sledge hammer to my MBP. I upgraded from SL to ML about 2 months ago after which I could no longer access my shared folders living on my W7 pc. Before the upgrade sharing worked fine using either sidebar or connect to server. After reading numerous threads on here and other forums I have tried everything (including formatting and reinstalling SL last night) and the following problem remains;
I can access my mac's shares (which is only my downloads folder) from W7 pc no problemo. When I attempt to connect to my pc via sidebar or connect to server I can see the pc, i can click on it and see my shared folders, but when I click on any of these folders (TV SHOWS for example) I get the following error msg;
"The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "TV SHOWS" cannot be found"
The folders are shared correctly in W7, permissions allow guest/my pc user account full control, workgroup is set to WORKGROUP on both machines, SMB shared is activated, W7 pc and MBP have manual IP's etc etc. AND I can access the mac from the pc without issue!?
This is really driving me mental, networking was fine on SL 2 months ago, broken after upgrading to ML, and still broken after formatting and reverting to the original SL install with latest updates! Can anyone help me please?
Cheers
