have you tried
On PC:
Go to Network and Sharing in Control Panel
Click on Change Advanced Sharing to the left
I turned Everything to On (besides password sharing to be safe)
On Mac:
Sys Preferences
Click Sharing
choose File Sharing on the left
Go into Options and choose both AFP and SMB (not sure if AFP is needed but I did it to be safe)
Ctrl Click Finder - Connect to server
type smb://your pc name/users
It might ask you to put in your Mac computer name and password
click connect and it should in theory mount
see if that works - I have yet to figure out how to share back to my Windows machine
Awesome! got it connected , its showing my user/ documents folder, from my C drive. I have a seperate drive (E:) and theres a folder in there i would like to share so i right clicked on the folder and selected sharing and added in users with read and write priv, but it does not appear on the mac side , any ideas?
thanks.
