Maybe it should be considered a HAN rather than a LAN, but either way, I would like to setup a network in which all of my computers in the house can access the other and transfer files if needed, or backup to my soon-to-be data server. Here's the lineup of what is/will be connected during this summer:
Wireless:
MacBook Pro
Dell Latitude D630
Dell Latitude 420
Dell Inspiron 5100
Wired:
Dell Precision T3400
Dell Dimension E310
PowerMac G5 1
PowerMac G5 (data server)
So far, the above is my setup at home, i tried this at my apartment at school with my MBP and Precision, is this is where i am now:
So my Windows computer sees my MacBook Pro no problem, though it only will connect if i let it use my user account on the Mac, it won't connect as an anonymous user. I just can't get the Mac to fully connect to the Dell though, it does see it, but returns connection failed when i try to.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
