File sharing problem between Windows 7 & Lion
I am running a windows 7 laptop and my mac mini with 10.7.
I have a single file share setup on the mac which is NTFS based (confirmed permissions are read/write).
I am unable to connect to the Mac from the windows computer. When I enter \\192.168.1.102\sharename I am prompt to enter the mac's login account info. When I enter the only account info I have it stays in a loop and I never log in. It was working fine in Snow Leo.
Here is what I am also seeing on the File sharing prefs on the mac:
Even after entering the correct password several times, it still tells me its incorrect. I have reset the password a couple of times to make sure it wasn't that and rebooted a few times and still the same thing.
Other things I have tried"
- Disabled firewall on the Mac
- Disabled / Enabled File sharing and removing / readding the shares again (rebooting afterwards)
All didn't make any difference.
Not sure why it works on Snow and now not on Lion.
Please help!
Thanks,
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
