| 1161025 | 2010-12-13 02:14:00 | It worked! Yay! Thank you soooo much!!!! Well, I am glad it worked for you. My PC (VISTA) is extremely selfish and won't share anything with my Macbook. I have told it to play nice, but no go. Can't even be bothered trying anymore! LL |

LL I think mac and windows networking requires an additional protocol running on the ethernet port to enable to 2 different platforms to talk to one another... |

I have a osx disc. let me try and isntall it on my virtual machine. i doubt it will install but i'll give it a shot. i kinda like mac osx.. especially their time-machine feature. |

When I had my Win XP machine it was not a problem. All I had to do was tell it to share the folder and it appeared on the Mac straight away. But VISTA will not do it at all. I have tried all sorts of things and googled it no end. I was able to get some info on it and the instructions were three pages! That's when I gave up. I will try your suggestion sometime though and let you know how I get on. LL |
