Hoping someone can advise...

I've just setup three Macs with Snow Leopard 10.6.8; iMac 27" i7 2009, Macbook Pro 15" i5 2010 and MacMini C2D 2009.

Everything working as expected, but for some reason I am unable to file share between the Macs (yes its enabled on each). As soon as I select the Mac on the left of Finder under sharing it automatically tries to connect and just sits there for a while, before 'Connection failed'. No machine asks for creds

As advise would be appreciated.

can you kindly try wether “Go->Connect to server” from the Finder menu works?

No, sorry it does not work. Oddly, I have found that its is only when on Wifi the macs will not allow file sharing, but on wired connections it works!
