It is password protected, and has the same password as my Windows 7 desktop. My Computer Name can have many different kinds of characters in it, including capital letters,Īccounts -> The name of my account has a space in it, and capital letters, but that seems not to matter.

Of course both the Mac and the PC have full connectivity to the same network.Īlso, I have disabled the internal firewall in the Belkin router.Īlso, my accounts have identical names with no spaces. This is when my Mac says it is "connected" when I click on the router in Finder's I can click on my Mac computer name in the Network window, but I get the error message that it cannot connect (network path cannot be found, using \\MYMACNAME as the path). However, when I put this into the Connect to Server or Connect to File window, there is an error. I am sharing my Desktop and My Documents with Everyone and Guest, and Windows 7 has provided a file://computername/Users/foldername path.

But I cannot connect to it, probably because I'm connecting from my Mac. Under the Shared location in Finder, I can see my shared name for my Mac. However, I can't see the PC or anything at all, in fact. Under the Shared location in Finder, I can see my router name, and if I click on it, I can connect.

Shared my Desktop, Public Folder, Documents, and Shared folders (just to cover root folders and specific ones too) Users are set to Everyone with read/write privileges I have tried the Mac forums and the Windows forums, to no avail. I am having extreme difficulties sharing files over my home network! I have 3 PCs and one Mac.
