We have an intern using a Dell computer running Windows 8 that I would like to be able to access our all-Macintosh local area network for simple file-sharing and printing. We’ve tried using various settings in Windows 8 but haven’t had any success in finding the network.
On a Mac I would do this by going to the Connect to Server option under Finder’s “Go” menu and clicking browse. All network computers with file-sharing turned on would appear. Is there something similar that I could do in Windows to “browse” the network. He is using our internal Wi-fi to connect to the Internet, so he should have the ability to find our internal network. To find and set up the printer on a Mac, I would go to System Preferences/Printers & Scanners; is there something similar to that in Windows 8? I’ve done this before on XP, but 8 is a different beast. Thoughts? _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected] http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup
