I don't get this. One day network connections work, the next they're gone! There must be a solution. I work in Mac 10.7.2 (Lion) as well as Windows 7. It took a little bit but I have shared folders between both computers using a wired network.

On the Mac side, everything works but the Windows 7 side has had its troubles. Most of the time I can at least "see" the Mac connection but had problems with permissions. I fixed that about a month ago & everything has been perfect until this morning. Now, Windows doesn't "see" anything.

How can I trouble shoot this?:confused:

This is weird & I don't get it but it's working. :confused:

My Mac has AirPort which I use for Mac's TimeMachine backup & also to extend my network connections. Windows 7 is one of the network connections.

When I first booted up I only saw the main hub in Network Infrastructure. Later a 2nd one appeared. When I clicked for properties, my network suddenly appeared.

It's working but I don't know why it stopped or why it started up again. Gremlins maybe? ;)
