2nd Post same topic w/ edits - Unable to Mount Drive

Hi again,

Yes, I am repeating a post but I have new stuff to add. And, since I received no replies on the last one, I don't think this will be a big deal.

OK, I expanded my search for a solution into AirDop, but my Pro is mid-2007 so AirDop is out. Also, someone suggested Apple Remote Desktop. Absolutely not. It is $80. I should not have to buy somethig to network my computers in the same room. Here's the rundown one more time:

I cannot get my mid-2007 MacPro to mount onto my 2010 macbook pro. I can get to some of the drives on the Pro using CMD+K afp, but not the Pro home folder, which is the one I need. Yes, I do have it set to share. When I try to connect to the Pro using my 'Registered User' login, it simply says, 'connection failed'.

I did try using the new option of the Apple ID to sign in. I have the same ID on both computers and I get this:

There was a problem connecting to the server "Lisa's Mac Daddy".

Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.
If you continue to have the problem, contact your system administrator.

After that, I am even more confused. I have checked & re-checked server namd & IP address. They are correct. I am the server administrator & haven't a clue.

Other steps taken:

1. I have re-started bothe machines.

2. I have re-checked my 'sharing' setting on both computers. my admin login has read & write access on both computers. Is there a new settings issue?

3. I am using Belkin wirelkess router from the Pro & WiFi on the macbook. The macbook show the AirDrop in the Finder sidebar so it is there but obviously not on the Pro.

4. i have tried using the admin logins for both computers on the macbook to gain access, it did not work.

I am so hopeing someone has an idea. This is taking way too much time to work around.

😕
