It turns out there was a mini-cd (one of the 8cm ones) in the superdrive!? I can't imagine why I would have put it in as it is a driver disk for a wireless LAN adapter which has never been plugged into the Macbook, so possibly small-boy-related after all. Once I managed to hook that out it works fine. Seemingly slot drives are generally unhappy about mini-cds, understandable really given how they must work.
Thanks for all the suggestions of help --stuart On Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 9:07 AM, Sam - MacAmbulance <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Stuart > connecting to \\192.168.1.125\stuart will show you your home folder, you > want to connect to \\192.168.1.125 (just type the address in the address bar > at the top of an Explorer window), that should show all the shares listed, > as long as you authenticate with the same username and password on your mac. > You could try resetting the SMC on the MacBook, turn it off, take the > battery out, disconnect the power, hold the power button for 10 secs, > reassemble and switch back on. > Regards > Sam > providing affordable Apple & PC services > Sam Mullen > 07747 778022 > http://www.macambulance.co.uk > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
