Hi, everyone. The situation is as follows:
I have a Late 2013 iMac running 10.9.5 as a media server and sharing folders with music and films on it into the home network through one router. All of the "native" Windows machines "see" and log in into the shared folders of the iMac with no problems. The problem is with my Mac Pro 4,1 (flashed to 5,1) that "sees" the folder in the "Network" but cannot log into it. The passwords and account names are correct, since I am able to log in from other machines.
I thought that the problem was with the Mac Pro itself, tried reinstalling the Bootcamp - didn't work. I also tried other Apple machines with Bootcamp on them, 15" rMBP 2015 and 13" MPB Late 2011, - they didn't log in either. However, all of these machines are able to connect to the iMac while being in OSX (Mavericks, El Capitan and High Sierra, accordingly).
I want to get rid off my "native" old PC that is now having problems with streaming high bit rate videos onto my home theatre system with decoding DTS, Dolby and other formats. I was thinking of getting a Mac Mini, for example, that has far less power consumption and the local store give it away dirt cheap.
Yes, I know there are ways to make Apple products to work with high definition audios both through HDMI and digital output, but I got used to using Windows as my HTPC for several reasons and would like to continue on using it on the future.
But the thing that bugs me at this point is the inability to use shared files from OSX in Bootcamp by itself and I would like to sort it out.
At this point I have no clue of the solution. Any troubleshoot will help. Or there may be other topic with similar problems and fixes, I'll appreciate the links and recommendations.
