I have 2 macs currently on my wifi network, and iMac and Macbook. Both set up for sharing.
On the iMac, if I go to Network in the sidebar, choose my work group, 'mark's macbook' appears, clicking connect and entering my password it only allows me to mount my home folder 'mark'.
If I instead connect via the command-k shortcut in Finder and enter the IP address 192.168.1.x I get a different dialog and can choose whether to log on as a registered user or a guest. This time it allows me not only to mount my home folder but also 'Macintosh HD'......
How come one way offers me the root drive and the other doesn't?
screenshots show the different results
