File sharing between PC XP SP 2 and Mac OS X 10.4.2

I would like to share file between my two Macs and a windows PC via AirPort. I can access from the PC to the Mac but not vice versa. I followed the instructions at www.efelix.co.uk/tech/3001.html but every time I try to get access to the PC with "connect to server" the system shows me error code -35.
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance!

My home network is similar, but I can't figure out what to do next in order to transfer files between the Macs and the PC.
I've disabled firewall (Windows) and internet security (TrendMicro), and confirmed IP and Submask Numbers. Still no success.
Here's more details of what I have:
AirPort Extreme Base Station connected to DSL modem.
eMac and three iBooks, connected wirelessly to ABS.
Filesharing is on for these Macintosh computers.
-This works fine for transferring files and for internet access.-
Just bought eMachines T6520 running Windows XP Home;
connected via ethernet cable to ABS.
-This PC works fine for internet access.-
WHAT IS THE KEY TO GETTING THE Macs to see the PC, and the PC to see the Macs?

  • File Sharing between Snow Leopard MacBook Pro and Mac OS 8.6 Powerbook 1400

    well ok, for some this might sound ridicule. Why should I still be using a 13 year old PowerBook. Let me tell you, this is writing/typing heaven, Zen-like; no distractions at all, no twitter, no internet (although possible), no emails just pure you and your text and if you spin down the HDD, absolute silence. as said before pure Zen writing heaven. and on top of that you're typing on the best keyboard ever on a laptop.
    As you might see I love my vintage masterpiece of a laptop and use it on a regular basis. Just one Problem.
    Since I Installed Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro 17" I just haven't been able to establish a connection between the two machines.
    I have to admit, I'm not that versed with OS 8.6 but with 10.5 I had absolutely no problems accessing the shared folders on my MacBook Pro and vice versa.
    My first thought was to activate Appletalk on the ethernet on my Macbook, which I failed to find anywhere. The Apple Discussions Forums revealed that Appletalk has been dropped with the introduction of Snow Leopard but all the entries where regarding printing issues with shared printers, I didn't find anything about actual file sharing and thus did not get any clues how to share files between my two machines.
    My PowerBook 1400cs/166 runs on 8.6 and I use a Global Village Platinum PCMCIA card (modem and Ethernet combi card). this setup worked perfectly with 10.5 but I have not been able to make establish a connection since running 10.6 on my MBP.
    I am really desperate since I heavily depend on being able to exchange files between those two machines through an ethernet connection.
    So I kindly ask anyone who might be able to help me to please consider posting any solutions or at least ideas which could help me with my problem. I really would greatly appreciate any effort whatsoever.
    Thank you very much for your time.
    EDIT:
    What I forgot to mention: strangely enough, when I enable Internet Sharing on my MacBook Pro (through Airport) to Ethernet, my PowerBook 1400 can connect to the internet without any problems.
    Message was edited by: Apolloss

    First of all let me thank you very much. It actually works (partially).
    There seems to be a problem though. While I can connect perfectly from my MBP 10.6 to my PowerBook 1400, the other way round doesn't work.
    My MBP does not show up in the Network browser of OS 8.6 but I could life with that.
    The problem is that if I try to connect to my MBP from my PB1400 by entering the IP directly a alert message appears reading that the "User Authentication Method required by this server can't be found, please check the AppleShare folder in the Extensions folder and try again".
    Do you have any clues what I'm doing wrong or where the problem may lie?
    PS.
    Even if you may not be able to further help me with this problem, I ow you a great deal of gratitude and am very thankful for your help so far. At least I can exchange files between the two machines and that's what I needed in the first place.

  • File sharing between OS 10.3.9 and 10.5.6

    I have an eMac running 10.3.9, and an AirPort router, but the eMac no longer connects to my iMac running 10.5.6. It worked until I installed Leopard on my iMac. Now when I try to connect in the usual way, in order to transfer files, the eMac just thinks and thinks and times out. Are these systems just incompatible? Or do I need to tweak my Sharing or Network settings somehow. I mean, they are both system 10, after all. It's not like I'm trying to connect up with 9. Thanks for any help.

    I just answered another very similar question but I don't know how to cross reference that post so I'll just duplicate the info here.
    I am going through the same thing. The issue is that the underlying way in which the Macs find each other has changed. The network code truly is incompatible between 10.3.9 and 10.4.11 and higher. But you can cope, so long as you know the IP address within your LAN.
    On the 10.5.6 machine, go to the Finder and open the "Go" menu up there in the top menu bar. Select Connect to Server and type in the IP address of the machine you need to connect to.
    In the Finder preferences, make sure that Computer is one of things that shows up in the left hand panel. Click it. On Computer, you'll find Network and clicking on that should now show the machine you just entered. You'll get prompted for your password.
    Notice that if the IP addresses happen to get shuffled around by the router, you'll have to set up the connection again.
    At least, "it worked for me". I got access to my 10.3.9 machine from the 10.5.6 machine and can see all the files. (Can't yet figure out how to do remote printing to a non-network printer attached to the 10.3.9 machine though. It would probably be easier to walk upstairs...)
    Best of luck.

  • File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing

    I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
    1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
    2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?

  • Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

    We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
    I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
    again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
    I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

    My MBP works fine. It can see other macs and share with them on my home network. My MP on the other hand cant see any other computers under the shared devices location in my finder. I have turned on file sharing for my MP as well as screen sharing. Neither works. My Mp used to be able to Air Drop and File share.
    When I try to Air Drop to my MP it wont receive the item.
    Has someone been through this before and know how to fix the issue? Ive been trying to research this for a while and haven't been able to find a solution.
    Any help would be great!

  • File Sharing between macbook pro and imac

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble with file sharing between my bankbook pro and my new iMac. I want to share some photos on my iPhoto library from my macbook pro and transfer them to my iMac. I've turned on file sharing and tried connecting, entered in my username and password, but it won't connect. I've tried several times with the correct username and password combination, and the box just shakes and denies entry. I've even tried connecting as a guest user and it says "access is denied, contact system administrator." Can anyone help? I've upgraded to Yosemite on both computers.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've done everything that you've recommended, however, I am still having trouble sharing files between my macbook and iMac. I even tried using airdrop to transfer files, but nothing seems to be working. I've made sure the firewall options are what they're supposed to be and everything. Whenever I try to login as administrator to file share, it won't accept my password. I don't know why airdrop isn't working either.

  • File sharing between iMac Leopard and Vista Laptop!

    ok this is my thing, i have an imac (leopard) that is connected wirelesslly and a laptop (vista home premium) that is also connected wirelessly to the same network. im trying to share files between the both so i don't have to use a hard drive every time i want to transfer files from one to the other. what is the process of setting this type of file sharing between the two machines? all wirelessly of course!

    Because the iMac and XP are talking, it sound like a Vista sharing thing and the only other help I can offer is to look at these Google Search's:

  • Can I create a wireless LAN and file sharing between two household Macs?

    I've got an iMac G5 running 10.4.11 and an Intel iMac running 10.5 and was wondering if I create a wireless Local Area Network and file sharing between my two household Macs?

    I have a network set up for my mom using an old blue iMac with an airport card as the base station. I'm using Tiger on the machine, but you should be able to do this on Leopard, too. She's 700 miles away, and I did it quite a while ago, but it seems I set everything up using the Airport Utility. At one point I think I had Internet Sharing on, too, but I don't remember if that's still on. Haven't needed to use file sharing on the network, but my G4 and her boyfriends MacPro happily use the network via Airport. I'm guessing you could share files that way. If it doesn't work, an Airport Express is a less expensive option for the router, at least cheaper than an Extreme.

  • File sharing between Macbook and iPhone 5s? AirDrop or bluetooth

    Just purchased my first Macbook ever! I'm catching on quickly however I've run into a snag with file sharing between my other Apple devices.
    How can I pair and send files between my MBA and iPhone 5s?
    I've made the change in system preferences to allow file sharing, yet still pops up on my iPhone that my MBA doesn't support this.
    Also I've enabled Airdrop on both devices yet I can't seem to get that to work as well. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I would love to be able to easily send pictures or documents from my MBA to my iPhone 5s via Airdrop and vice versa.
    Thanks in advance

    Regarding AirDrop, note the quotation below from: iOS: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content
    You can't use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X users, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
    The iPhone has limited bluetooth profiles and the only supportde connection between an iPhone and a computer is for tethering (sharing the iPhones cellular data connection). iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

  • File Sharing between OS X 10.4.8 and OS 9.2.2

    I have seen a couple of postings on this topic and have tried to do what is suggested without success. I'm setting up a new Mac Pro and need to pull files from an ancient G4. I have the G4 set up for network sharing. I have set up a network called "Home". I have the Built-in Ethernet 2 set such that "Make Apple Talk Active" is checked. When I go to the Finder mode Go:Connect to Server, I type in
    afp://140.50.4.24
    and smash the Connect button.
    this is the IP of the G4
    But the Mac Pro can't find it. Any tips on what I'm doing wrong? Please help....
    Best Regards.....Meri Lynn

    Did you try it from the G4/OS9.2.2 machine from Chooser>AppleShare>IP of the MacPro?
    "AppleTalk issues
    Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X 10.1 to 10.3.9 support file sharing (AFP) connections over AppleTalk. However, Mac OS X versions 10.0 to 10.0.4 and 10.4 and later can only connect to AppleShare over TCP/IP.
    Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X can both connect over TCP/IP without AppleTalk.
    Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer. The Network preference pane in Mac OS X 10.4 and later still offers the AppleTalk checkbox, but it is for browsing AppleTalk-advertised resources and zones. The subsequent connection must be over TCP/IP."

  • Windows 8.1 ICS with file sharing between computers

    Can someone help me get ICS working with file sharing between two computers (directly connected), without enabling file sharing on the internet network (on a public untrusted network)?  Is this possible?  I have set up ICS between two Windows 8.1
    machines, but i can only get file sharing to work in one direction (from machine B to machine A)... UNLESS I turn on file sharing/discovery with the entire network from machine A (which i do not want to do).  I am not sure this exact question has been
    asked, so my apologies if it has.
    Here is my configuration.
    Machine A: win 8.1 (up to date), two NICs:  a wireless card (connected to internet) and a gigabit NIC (connected to machine B)
    Machine B: win 8.1 (up to date), one NIC, a gigabit card connected to machine A
    What i did:
    On Machine A:  I enabled ICS on machine A's wireless card, which automatically assigned the IP address 192.168.137.1 to the second NIC
    On Machine B:DHCP was enabled so it automatically got an ip address (192.168.137.62), internet sharing works fine (i can open a browser, get email, etc.)
    On Machine B: I enabled "Find devices and content" on the network device
    On Machine A: Going into "view network settings" it lists my wireless network and the gigabit NIC.  The wireless under 'Wi-Fi' says 'Connected', and i can click on this and I have the option to turn on "Find devices and content".
     On the wifi connection, i leave 'Find devices and content' turned OFF (so i don't discover computers on the wireless network, which is a public network).  My gigabit NIC shows up as "unidentified network"/"Limited".
     When i click on the gigabit NIC, it does NOT give me an option to turn on "Find devices and content", it just shows some properties of the NIC (manufacturer, description, driver, mac address) and button that says "Copy".  On
    the gigabit connection's properties (which is listed as "unidentified network/limited"), the option for 'Find devices and content' is missing.
    On Machine A: I open a file browser and type '\\192.168.137.62' and it works correctly, i can see the computer and move files around.
    On Machine B: It doesn't work.  I open a file browser and type in "\\192.168.137.1", and nothing happens.
    If i enable 'Find devices and content' on machine A's wifi connection, everything works, but now everyone on the public network can see my computer.
    Question:  How can i enable file sharing between machine A and machine B ONLY?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The whole point of public networks is that they are unsafe, so file sharing is not permitted for your protection.
      If you have a network which you know is safe, the way to get file sharing working is to change your security policy so that it is set to private, not public. You do this from the local security policy (on the ICS computer).

  • File Sharing between 2 macs

    I am trying to enable file sharing between my new iMac and my (2007) model Macbook Pro. I am succesfully able to share files from the old mac to the new one, as I can connect via the macbook,  but when I try and connect from the new Mac it "fails".   Everything is set up in System Preferences ok (I think) and I have restarted both macs, but still not conecting via the new mac. Any ideas on why this is happening?

  • HT1549 How to do file sharing between OS X platforms without airport, airdrop, or router.

    How do you do file sharing between OS X platforms without: airport, airdrop, a router, or existing intranet?

    All Macs for many years have included Airport WiFi.  You should be able to create an Ad-Hoc network between any 2 Macs and transfer files via file sharing
    The Airport icon on the menu bar -> Create Network on one Mac.  On the other Mac, choose -> Join Other network.
    Besides a Firewire cable, you should also be able to connect an ethernet cable between any 2 Macs and they should see each other.
    There is always a USB thumb drive and sneaker-net (hand carry files between systems via the Thumb Drive).
    You could get a WiFi router, and use it to create a local network where all the Macs in the home could see each other.  That will work even if you do not have an internet connection.
    You could get an ethernet switch and plug all the Macs into the switch via ethernet cables and they would all see each other.
