Connection Failed for Shared Folders between iMac and MBP after Lion Upgrade

After upgrading to Lion I cannot connect between my MBP and iMac for shared folders. I have only 1 shared folder on both, requiring I log in as my u/p. The computers "see" eachother, but I cannot connect even after using the "Connect As..." and re-typing my password.


Both computers can see and can access the Time Capsule just fine.


I've turned off the firewall just in case, no luck.


Any ideas?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)

I found a solution that worked for me. Seems like my firewall did not accept the afp connection permissions anymore after installing lion... Since everything worked well turning off the firewall.


So if you don't want to keep your firewall disactivated here is what worked for me:


- Leave your firewall activated.

- Turn OFF afp file sharing in the sistem prefs

- Restart your Machine

- Turn ON afp file sharing

- You should now get a message if you want to accept afp connections...

- click YES


Thats it... Everything fine on my network now.
