First off, sorry if this has been answered before:

I have spend that last 4 days tiring to get this working. I want to connect my win7 machine and my mac mini 10.6 together. I've tried everything..

Mac:
-file sharing is on
-sharing files via smb is on
-my folder i want to share has everyone as users and is under read & write
-set WINS workgroup to the same on win machine
-wont connect to pc via connect to server (tired everything from ip address to computer name)
-nothing is listed under network in finder

Windows:
-network discovery is on
-file sharing is on
-changed the LAN manager auth level
-created a homegroup
-the folder i want to share is being shared with full permissions

yet nothing is working.... could it be an issue with my router? (linksys E1000)

any help would be great
