Apple is definitely stirring some things up right now. Good or bad, it’s a fun ride on the iDrama train.

I have just recently had this issue with connecting my Mac to my PC. This has worked perhaps up to 3 months ago. I had to reinstall XP (drive failed). Now I can’t connect to the PC from the MAc. I can interestingly use the remote logon from the mac to the PC. I can from the PC connect to the Mac.

This suggest that Apple has screwed something up and have not told anyone they screwed up!!!!!!

I don’t know how much longer I can support Apple, They have become worse, it that’s possible then MS. Wow!!

Another solution to this problem – My hard drive was completely full (0kb remaining) – which is the reason I was trying to connect to the share (to dump some data) – made some space (just closed firefox – which is a resource hog) and was able to connect.

@FJ1 – Sweet! Glad this helped somebody out. If you have access to the XP administrator account, you can always hit the built in shares like so "smb://x.x.x.x/C$", just be ready to enter the user / pswd.

Another tip, command + K is the shortcut for the 'Connect to Server' dialog box.

Thank you for this. This and other expert threads talk over my head.

But I was able to connect from a MacBook to an XP box with a Go>Connect to Server using smp://xx.x.x.x only after creating an account on the XP box that matched the current user name on the MacBook. Otherwise it wouldn't connect with an account set up with a diff. name and password. After turning off simple file sharing and setting up a shared folder on the XP box, of course. FJ
