[macvoiceover] Re: Fwd: network

MacOS and windows networking
Here are the simple steps to sharing with a windows computer from MacOSX.
1. Give the Mac a name in the Computer name text field of the Sharing Control Panel 2. In the Sharing control panel turn on Windows Sharing by clicking the check box. 3. On the windows computer go to My Network Places there should be an item with your user name and computer name. This is your home folder the Windows path is \\computer name\ username 

Connecting to a Windows share
These instructions assume the windows machine is on the same network as the Mac. 

1. In the finder press command-K.
2. In the text field of the connect to server dialog enter the following smb://name_of_windows_computer 3. You will be presented with a dialog to enter your username and password for the Windows computer 4. You will then be presented with a dialog to choose the windows share you wish to mount select it from the drop down menu. 
5. The share will mount as  network drive on your mac desktop.
To save the step of entering the username and logging you can do this at the connect to server dialog smb:// username:password@windows_computer_name
There is also a list of favorite servers that you can add your windows computers to. 

Hope this helps

John,
I have kept a lot of messages that I use when I get in trouble. This one looks like it will work, if not, I will be willing to send you more.

on the mac, you go to system preferences, sharing, tab into the services table, arrow down the list, tab to the start buttton for services you want to enable. In order to access your mac from windows, you start windows sharing and then you enable the account you want windows to have access to through your mac. In order to do this, you have to find a button with the vo cursor that says "enable accounts". activate this button and with the vo cursor, you will find accounts with labels on one line and a check box which will be unchecked on the nextt line. press the space bar on the checkbox to activate it. you will be asked to authenticate the action by supplying your pass word. If you are not asked to authenticate, the checkbox is not checked and you'll need to perform the virtual click.
Once you have authenticated the account, activate the done button and close system prefs.
On the windows system, go to your map network drive box and put in your server name or try browsing for the mac. you should then be able to map the drive with no problem. One way I do this is to use the ip address of the system for instance, I would type: \ \192.168.1.102 in the run box or the map network drive edit field. You can also type: \\192.168.1.102\mike and click ok and you should land right in your user folder. You can also do this from network places. You of course will want to use the correct ip address and name.

I see the mac from the pc, but can't get into it.
In windows there is a wizard that helps you set up your network.
I just wondered how you do it on the mac.
Thanks Mike.
