Howdy, Perhaps someone could help me with a problem I encountered last night.
I just setup a new AlBook G4 1.33GHz for a friend, nice toy BTW :-) It came with OS 10.2.7. I installed the latest 10.2.8 combo update after I had installed all of his apps and after I had repaired permissions from the 10.2.7 DVD (I tried to fix the permissions while running Disk Utility from HD, but I had no permissions to fix the permissions, it looked like it was fixing, but I noticed it said no permission or something like that after every file???). After installing the 10.2.8 update I was able to fix permissions from the HD again. Anyway the AlBook is networked via a switch to the PC (Windows XP Home SP1, fresh install). Everything is working fine except that I can see and mount the PC, but not the other way around. They're both in the 192.168.1.xxx range (.101 and .102) with subnet 255.255.255.0. Nothing unusual. Enabled Mac Sharing and Windows File sharing in the File Sharing pane. The Mac just doesn't appear in the Network Neighborhood on the PC. Enabling Windows File Sharing should be all it takes, but it won't. No firewall software loaded cq enabled on both PC and Mac. Am I missing something? Also if I open the Connect To... 'Chooser' on the Mac it takes more then a minute before it actually shows WORKGROUPS etc, this is very long compared to my network at home which shows it instantly. Therefor I made an alias of the PC on the desktop. Also with 10.2.6 (at least on my network) you could select * in the Connect To... app to refresh the network search. This option has dissapeared in 10.2.7. Same for both problems after 10.2.8 update. Any comments on this? Also how can you set up to share the whole HD in Jag instead of only your own documents folder? Thanks for any help! Marc * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
