Directory Utility. same thing in Leopard.

though to connect to your PC you should just see it under Shared in Finder if you have file sharing enabled in Sharing preferences or use Connect to Server in Finder.

not there? This is hard huh? I have been up 3 hours try to figure this out and I am getting no where!

 

[richard.mac]

you said you saw Directory Utility … thats the one.

Found It thanks so much..... I had to make the move on my laptop first then everything starting working.......

But under shared it says im logged in under guest

 

[richard.mac]

yeah i dunno about that i can never log in as a registered user, it just stays as guest. just enable changes to be allowed to your PC's shared folder and it will work fine.

Ok sorry but how do I see my mac from laptop pc

make sure File Sharing is turned on and in the Options turn on SMB and tick your username.

then in Windows your Mac should be visible in My Network Places when clicking View workgroup computers. if not log off/on.
