Hi, Similar to what Chris mentioned earlier, try the following when using the cmd-shift-k method:
1. Navigate to the desired computer. 2. Press cmd-o to access it as a Guest. Focus should change to the accessible shares available to the Guest user. 3. Stop interacting with the file area, VO-left once and it should say “Connect As”. 4. VO-space on that button. 5. Enter credentials for a user on the shared computer. 6. A new list of shared items should appear that pertains to the level of access for the given user. 7. Navigate to the shared item you wish to view and press cmd-o to open it. Let me know if you still have no success. You may also like to confirm the share permissions for the given share by pressing cmd-i (Get Info) on the shared item. This should be done from the computer providing the share.
