I sure could use some Apple Expert advise:
I am having quite a problem getting my mac mini to see my Windows (Vista-XP) network. I am only able to see one of my systems when I use the smb://command. First I used this command from the address bar of Firefox, it connected and mounted the drive on my mac desktop.....would not see any of the others. I have (2) Leopard books and have followed the steps correctly.
Went back to the store-local and we did the same functions and without fail the systems showed up quickly in the finder as shared.
I have the WINS: NETBIOS name and Workgroup name correct. I have file sharing, screen sharing turned on.
Can anyone give me some thoughts as to what I am missing here. Again unless I use the smb://command nothing shows up. I have the Finder set to show shared.
Connection to the wireless net, perfect-less than a minute to complete.
Thanks in advance
