Networking Issues


Recommended Posts

Hey guys

I am still learning OS X so I might be missing some obvious stuff here. But half the time I cannot access my windows network through my mac. However, I can access my mac from any other Windows computer on my network.

A few times I will start up my mac and see my windows machines on the network, but others I cannot find them at all. What is going on here?

That happens to me as well. Where you turn on the mac and they don't show up in the sidebar in Finder.

To connect to a Windows share without using that nifty little icon in Finder you can press Command+K and type smb://IP ADDRESS or Windows PC Name and it will connect to it like that
