TICKET ARCHIVE -> Os X Tiger, Networking With Pc

zyprexa - May 3, 2005 - 5:30 pm

I just upgraded OSX from Panther to Tiger.

Previously with Panther, I was able to turn on "windows file sharing" and on the pc i could map a network drive "z:\\192.168.1.3\drivename"

Using this feature, I was able to map several hard drives that are physically connected to my macintosh.


With OSX Tiger, I've enabled "windows file sharing" and unfortunately when I try to map a network drive, I am unable to. The only drive I can map is the default mac public drive "z:\\192.168.1.3\username"

to map drives on the pc, i right click on "my computer" and then select map a network drive.


With Panther this worked flawlessly and I was able to treat the drive connected to the Mac as a lettered drive on the PC.

Any ideas on what settings I need to change to regain this function?

Hi Nilesh,

first of all, check your Firewall settings in the preferences. Enable the ports for sharing if you have to.

If this doesn't work, I'd recommend that you really back up all your data, and do a clean install of Tiger as upgrades are always trouble.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
