About four years ago I bought a tablet PC with Windows XP and we did not/could not upgrade it to vista. I left that at home when I went to college and got an iMac and later a macbook. Recently my brother received an iPod for Christmas and so I am trying to move my iTunes music Library over to my old computer so he can pick and choose what songs he wants on his iPod. This is where the problem comes in.
At school, both my macbook and my iMac can connect to PC's or can at least see them in the sidebar of the finder with both wireless and wired connections. However, at home my PC will not show up on my macbook or iMac and vice versa. I have tried wireless to wireless, wired to wireless and wired to wired connections, even having my macbook and PC connected by an ethernet cord directly. I have turned on AFP and SMB and FTP in control panel and I'm pretty sure everything is turn on appropriated on my PC but apparently it is not. I'm not quite sure what is causing the problem and how I can fix it. I would transfer the file via CD or DVD or even SD card but 50 GB is a large file to transfer on any of those media.
I can provide more information if that would help, I'm just not sure what else I need to say. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
