Connecting to MAC (Snow Leopard) from Windows 7 PC
Been trying to get the iMac to connect with a windows 7 pc. Have successfully connected to the PC from the iMac using the Go/Connect to server method. From the windows 7 PC perspective, the iMac shows up in network neighborhood, but when I double click on the iMac get an error message - "Windows cannot access ..." then the name of the iMac. This is associated with error code 0x80070035.
From the windows 7 PC, I can successfully ping the iMac by name and IP address. The iMac and PC are using the same workgroup name as well. I'm thinking the problem is associated with how I configured sharing on the iMac --- but I can't seem to figure out the problem. This is how the iMac sharing is configured:
- have a public folder set as the shared folder, with everyone identified as having read and write privileges
- under sharing/options,"share files and folders using SMB (Windows) is selected
- below that, have the "on" button checked for the accounts I have on the iMac.
Thinking that there is something in the sharing configuration that is the problem. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.
