Hi!

I'm trying to access the shared folders on my network. I've been able to access them for about the last week but after I rebooted my laptop laptop I haven't been able to connect to the shared folders on other computers.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the computers' hosting the shared folders because the other computers on the network can access those shared folders.

When i open up Finder, it lists the two other computers in the shared. When I click on ether one of them i get a Connection Failed error message.

Where do I begin to troubleshoot this problem?

thanks!

Resolved.

I did't notice the "Connect As" button on the upper right. I changed the name to connect as and it works now.
