Networking Issues Again


Recommended Posts

A few months ago, I posted that I was having trouble with networking in OS X. thefarewellnote helped me out and it worked for a while. I recently had to move my mac and had to use my wireless router instead of my wired one. Now I am in the same situation, but this time thefarewellnote's technique will not work. The workgroup and everything has not changed, neither has the IP address of the mac. I cannot connect with it no matter what I do. My PC cannot find my mac and my mac cannot find my PC.

I know it is not the router because my PC could connect to my laptop when I had it. So what should I try?

set your WINS server setting in networking to your routers ip

can you ping it? if so just map the hostname to the ip in hosts file

do you have a firewall on the pc or mac? can another pc ping the pc? if you cant ping it, i don't think its a mac problem

Yeah everything was working fine, the only difference is I had to use airport instead of the ethernet connection. Every other windows computer can see my PC.
