Cannot access Mac windows shares

Hello

I am running Mac OSX and 2 windows 7 PCs that have shared folders.

I can access those on a PC and not the other despite them being setup the same (same working group, ostensibly same settings in Network Center)

The files that I can't access to appear like this, despite having activated the account (on windows) and invited shared with "everyone."

Thanks in advance

Hi Mark,

Please let us know if you get an error message trying to access shared folders on the Windows computer.

If the problem is specific to the mac computer, I suggest you to report the same query in the Apple Support Forums.

Refer to this article for more information:

Please answer us with the brand and model of the computer and the type of network connection, if the problem is with the Windows computer.

    Just don't allow the computer to restart if the part of Revo Uninstaller asks you if you want to restart now or later. Select afterwards and let Revo finish an orphan looking for registry entries. Reboot after Revo ends.

  • Dell has developed a passwoord and cannot access the Windows XP system on a network share in Windows 7.

    Original title: network router, XP computer and Windows 7 laptop computer dilemma.

    My system XP computer is part of a network using a router. I also have a laptop Windows 7, using the same network. Reference Dell set up a password so that the network is not accessible without password, reducing the risk of piracy. Now, I can not in the XP system because of the defined password.  How to reset or enter the password on the XP computer?

    Hi Scottid2,

    1. do you receive error messages when you access the Windows XP system?

    2. What is the password being set by Dell?

    You can check in the Windows 7 system if the password protected sharing is enabled. When protected by password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer.

    You can turn off password protected sharing and check if it helps.

    For more information, see the articles:

    Why can't I connect to other computers?

    Networking of computers running different versions of Windows

    As the password is set by Dell, you can also consult with support of Dell for the same thing:

I've already posted the same question on the TechNet site too since it's a server issue but I find that you can easily post there and receive no help, so that never but I find that almost every subject I posted here, someone has at least made an effort to help with your problem.

    In fact, I created a user account on the server and the XP client gave them both the same user name and password and now I have full access to server shares. I have often continue to try while you wait for answers and find my own solution.

  • I cannot access internet Windows XP.

    Hello

    My name is Tommy and I need help. My desktop computer shows that it is connected to the internet, but when I try to use any application that requires the internet (IE, firefox, chrome, League of legends, etc..) I get a 'connection error' / Web page isn't reachable. Internet works on my parents and my sisters computer, so I don't think it's a problem with the router (even if they're using wifi). My firewall will not turn on either. I tried a reset winsock, but to no avail.  I ran a few antivirus scans and eventually find a sitting trojan.muldrop in my System Volume Information folder, and I deleted it with by Dr.Web CureIt. After the removal of the virus, my computer will still not access the internet, and I can't turn on my firewall. Please help if possible!

  • Cannot access Mac on LAN with the name of user and password correct

    I have two Mac Pros, it of brand-new and came with El Capitan installed, the other I've just updated to El Capitan.

    I need to have access to the Mac via my local network and would usually use the option in the sidebar of the Finder. I can't access the new Mac.

    I have the good registered user name and password, but every time I try to connect it just shakes and refuses to connect.  Strangely, if I choose screen sharing, it works perfectly!

    Is there something obvious that I do not forget to allow me to access the first Mac?

    Thank you

    by chance, you have file sharing enabled on the new Mac? (Preferences system - share - file sharing) Looks like you have active screen sharing, but not file sharing.
