OS X :: IMac Can See Windows PC But Can't Connect
Mar 4, 2008
2.8ghz Al iMac running Leopard 10.5.2 I can see my windows PC under "shared", but I cannot connect to it. After entering the username and password used on the PC, I get "connection failed". If I try to connect using the "command-K" method, I get an message saying "you do not have permission to access this server" after entering my username and password. I also cannot connect as a guest even though I have enabled the guest account on the PC. The PC and iMac are in the same workgroup. I have file sharing turned on the iMac and can access the iMac from my PC with no problems at all. In Tiger, I was able to access to the PC using "command-K". Any ideas? I'm stumped. I feel like I've tried everything.

I've spent the past few hours attempting to connect my new Windows 8.1 laptop to my iMac's Airport signal without any success. I was able to do this very thing using Windows 7 on an old laptop. From what I've been reading, it seems that the ability to connect to networks secured with "WEP-Shared" type security has been removed in Windows 8 because of the fact that it was outdated and insecure. It's great that Microsoft is trying to force individuals to be secure, but unfortunately the iMac's airport utility does not offer any alternatives.

I've installed the drivers, and when I start up in Windows, neither the internet or the wireless pick up.
Using Windows Vista Home Premium. The little wireless icon in the tray just has the big X, so it's literally picking up nothing. I also can't connect via ethernet.

First i want to apologize for my bad english. Soon i will buy an iMac - the 21,5' version. I nave an old 29 CRT Samsung TV with S - video input, scart input and RCA input. My idea was to connect the iMac with the TV through the S - video input by using the apple's video adapters Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and Apple DVI to Video Adapter. But when i saw the pictures of these adapters i saw that my idea is impossible, because the connection between them is impossible because of the 4 additional pins in one of the adapters - Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter. My question is how can i connect my TV with the iMac through the s - video port on my TV?

I'm trying to connect my windows pc to my mac through vnc viewer on windows. I follow these steps to enable vnc sharing from the mac side: [URL] But it doesnt work, vnc viewer on windows just closes the window when trying to connect... Do I need another third part application (vnc server) for the mac to connect from a windows computer? mac to mac vnc works great with these settings.

I'm a mac noob. Actually I'm pretty technologically challenged full stop. But I got a mac about a month ago. There's not problem connecting to the internet, it picked it up straight away. However I live in a house full of windows computers which are all wirelessly networked. Sometimes I can connect to them (for no rhyme or reason) and sometimes I can't. I don't particularly care that I can't reach them but I need to be able to connect to my printer. I just plugged my printer straight in the USB and it worked so they're compatible.But my network and computers aren't in the side bar of the finder at the moment. I try clicking "go" and then "connect to server" but I have no idea what my server address is. Is it my IP address or what? as I said I'm technologically challenged.

I just installed it from bootcamp, and there seems to be no way for me to connect to my internet. Windows XP only came with one disk also.

I've recently bought my first mac (mac mini) and frequently access a shared driver that is hosted on a Windows server. Until today I have no issues by going into finder and typing
smb://ip or hostname here
However, today I get:
"There was an error connecting to the server "server". Check the server name or IP address and try again".
The same problem occurs when I try to access it by IP address. I can ping the particular Windows computer just fine in terminal by both host name and IP. I know that sharing works because it's fine on other Windows computers. It seems the problem is in Finder. I have made no changes at all since the last time it worked.

I've looked high and low for the answer to this with no luck. I've mapped a lot of my windows network shares at work on my MacPro running leopard without problems. However, I'm extremely stuck trying to connect to the last one which is located on a special DMZ (demilitarized zone) server.On my windows machine I simply use the ip method and I'm prompted for login credentials. It's important to note that the login credentials for this DMZ network share are different than my usual work domain login (the Mac uses that same login with no issues).

I used to be able to connect my old Mac Pro and the Windows 8 machine. It was quirky and not especially reliable, but I could make it work most of the time. They are plugged into the same router. I have set all the preferences in "Sharing" as prescribed and as they used to work — File Sharing is on, SMB and AFP are both selected for my user account. The other computer shows up in "Network" on both machines, but they just won't connect.

I have a MacBook with 10.6.4 and trying to connect PC with Windows 7 wirelessly, computer to computer. I'm trying to go into MacBook from PC laptop to copy files. Is this possible? I tried "Creating Network..." under Airport menu on MacBook, but couldn't get it to work. Is it possible with ethernet cable? I could always burn CDs but trying to learn little bit about network and stuff.

So basically, I was given a decent windows machine for free, and I'm trying to convert it into a place where all our family's files can be accessed.
However, I'm having a real tough time trying to connect to the windows 7 computer. I've tried Go>Connect to Server and put in "smb://" then the IP address (192.168.1.105 in this case), and I get the error message saying I should check my IP address and contact my system's administrator.
Now, the part that baffles me the most is that in the finder left hand sidebar, I can see the homeserver and the other computer on the network. When I try to connect to either one of them, it takes a good 15 minutes then the computer gives up, even when I connect with the administrator username and password.
Is it a problem with my computer? I've got them all on the same workgroup (MSHOME) and are connected to the same router.

I cannot connect to my HP7150 on my windows network from my MBP. I can see all of the files that are on that computer, and other windows computers on the network can print just fine. Is there a tutorial somewhere that can help or can someone please tell me how to get it working? I've tried just about everything.

I had originally put this in the Mac OS forum, which did not garner a response. Perhaps I should have place this question in the Windows on a Mac forum. I am trying to figure out how to connect to a network resource through a mac. With my windows pc, I can simply open up windows explorer and type in the path to the resource (e.g. //shared_drive). How can I do this with a Mac?

I have a MacPro and I installed Parallels on it to run Windows XP. Everything seems to work perfect but I was wondering if I can use my Windows printer (Canon MF3240) with Mac. I tried adding a printer through the System Preferences but when I go to the Windows Printers parts Mac doesn't have any drivers for this printer? Is there something I am doing wrong or is there any other way I can use the printer?

I can successfully connect to my work server (Windows 2003 Small Business Server) using the built in VPN utility. That isn't an issue.
However, once connected I have no way to navigate the file system to be able to copy and paste files between our server and my MacBook Pro. I'm not sure why.
When I'm in the office and am connected to our network via ethernet cable and connect to the server via VPN, the different drives show up in the Shared section in Finder.
However, when I connect remotely from home those drives don't show up in Finder.

How do I get Windows 7 Home Premium to connect to my existing internet connection, on my iMac (Lion 10.7.3)? The installation of the Windows 7 using Bootcamp went fine, up to the point of getting connected to the internet. My iMac side of the partition connects to the internet just like it always did.

I have recently got a macbook air and i am trying to have file sharing with both pc's unfortunately whatever i try does no allow both pc's to see each other. If i try the connect to server method using smb then log in screen just shakes and wont accept a valid login offer. The windows pc also does not see the mac in the network which i guess does not help. On several forums there is a suggestion that this used to work on earlier versions of apple os.
