Connecting my iMac to my PC laptop
Hello,
wondering if anyone can help? I have tried to connect my new 20" 2GHz iMac through my wireless linksys router, to my Toshiba laptop, and cannot seem to get through. I would like to migrate some files this way.
When I open the finder and click on the Network, I see; Library, Miller Home Net, My Network, Servers, and Workgroup as available choices. The only selection that has any subfolders, however, is the Servers folder which shows only my iMac hard drive.
I have enabled personal file sharing and windows file sharing under my system preferences/sharing ... I do not know what else could be wrong.
Also interesting was that I was able to see the iMac from the PC the other day, but after transferring a few pictures, both computers went into power saver mode, and were unable to connect at all afterward.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,
Jeff.
