Failed connection when attempting to connect to Windows Vista PC from OS X Mavericks
I've recently carried out a system recovery of my Windows Vista notebook and now I can no longer connect to it from my iMac. I had no problems connecting before and I've checked all the relevant settings on the Vista PC under the network section, ie. network discovery is on, file sharing is on etc. I can access the iMac from the PC with no trouble and the notebook is showing up in Finder on the Mac - but when I try to connect, I get an error message as shown below.
Would really appreciate it if someone could throw some light on this issue for me. I have tried disabling the Windows Firewall and also creating other user accounts on the notebook, but none of these things make any difference. I have also tried connecting using the 'Finder' 'Go' 'Connect to Server...' option but this also doesn't work. I'm running Mavericks on the iMac.
Many thanks
