Help needed with Mac - Windows networking
The situation is a Mac running OS 10.4 and a Toshiba laptop (PC) running XP. Bonjour for Windows is installed on the PC.
I'm able to connect from the Mac to the PC and mount "My documents".
Bonjour for Windows regcognized the printer which is shared by the Mac.
Problem:
I'm NOT able to connect from the PC to the Mac.
I try to connect to:
\\192.168.1.100\shortname
I get a authentication window where I type the same username and password that I use when I log in to the Mac.
The authentication window returns with:
username: WORKGROUP\username
but does not give me access. It keeps returning.
Furthermore I can print to the Mac shard printer from the PC, but it doesn't work.
Personal File Sharing and Windows Sharing are running.
Maybe these to problems: logging-in and printing are related.
Your help is very much appreciated because I have no idea what the solution is.
Thanks in advance.
