Mac-pc smb connection failed after installing lion. Mac to pc connection is normal, but pc to Mac won't work.

I have file sharing enabled and all that jazz. I haven't tinkered with my system settings. It worked fine until I installed Lion. If anyone could help I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks!
Here's a screeny (posted an image-link to save space)

someone just informed me that they had difficulty accessing the link I shared above. I went back, found the problem with the link and here's the one that takes you there. See page 2 for the solution I found.

  • ODBC connections fails after going from Office 2003 to 2010 on some but not all PCs

    ODBC connections fails after going from Office 2003 to 2010 on some but not all PCs. Setting up the connection has been a hit and miss. Have tried both x86 and x64. Any ideas?  Use ODBC from the control panel and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 same results. Using

    Hello,
    Please consider to configure Windows Firewall or disable it. Not only Windows Firewall but any security software.

    Windows Firewall is enabled by default.  
    Make sure you are using SQL Server Native Client to create the ODBC DSN. Not all Windows versions have it, so you may need to download and install it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Connecting failed after install

    I was able to install Arch from the live cd but after reboot I run wifi-menu as root and after choosing the ssid it says "connecting failed".
    I've also tried connecting to an SSID without a password in case it was the wpa_supplicant but that didn't work either.
    I've also tried going through the beginner's guide to bring up wifi using ip link but that didn't work either.
    I've confirmed the iwlwifi module is loaded but no idea where to go from here. Can anyone offer any help?

    Turns out I had to force dhclient as mentioned in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/netctl
    Not sure why this works from the live cd but not from a booted system...

  • All my software update fail after installing Lion

    i was running a software update after Lion was installed and it would get all the way to the end and fail with an unknown error message. i tried updating things individually to see if it was an isolated problem but eery one failed at the end of the update. Please help!

    Depends on what you mean by lost?
    Have they just disappeared from sight, ie can you toggle the little triangle before the Inbox and they come back?
    Or are all you emails totally vanished so you have none in the right hand window?

  • Mac taking forever to restart after installing Lion...any ideas

    Just downloaded Lion from the app store, installed it. Now my MacBook is taking forever to restart. Stuck on the grey apple screen with the loading circle for about 2 hours now. Any suggestions???

    I'm having this problem too. Anyone else experience this? Downloaded Lion over two hours ago, still on reboot screen.

  • No canon lbp 5100 After installing lion

    My iMac does not see my canon lbp 5100 printer after installing lion anymore. I have tried updating the drivers bud dat dit not work. It all works perfectly on my Windows laptop so theres nothing wrong with the hardware. Can anybudy help me?

    If the iMac cannot see the LBP5100 when connected via USB cable, then this is not a fault of the driver or Lion but most likely a problem with the USB cable.
    Open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select the USB entry in the left column. The top right pane will show all of the USB busses on the iMac and if the USB printer cable is good then the printer will be listed under one of these busses.
    Note that the USB printer cable needs to be connected directly to the iMac. If you have a USB hub or some other device between the Mac and the printer then this can cause failure.

  • Although I am new to mac, I am not new to computers and purchasing online.  I can't sign into the App store after installing Lion.  I have had to change my password 4 times in 2 days .  I am so sick of this.  I am trying to buy a tutorial for Lion.

    I recently downloaded Lion and since have had nothing but problems with my new i-Mac.  My problem with the App store is only one issue.  Has anyone out there had any trouble with their components after installing Lion 10.7???????   After several hours on the phone with a tech my situation isn't any better.  I think the tech is sick of talking with me.  He was supposed to call me today and the phone never rang.   He told me he was working on something to repair my problems and needed to talk with engineers.  How long could that take????   If it wouldn't hurt the person who gifted me this i-Mac, I would give it back. 

    your itunes accoutn have nothing to d with your computer
    you can go to any computer with internet access in the world and
    login into your itunes account if you have the appleID and password
    the itunes account is placed on apples itunes servers

  • I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro.  It works fine, but after installing Lion, the mouse wheel goes in reverse of what it did (rolling the wheel towards your palm goes up not down the page).  Anyone know how to fix this?

  • After installing lion, my computer is running slower and having delays connecting to network

    please help me resolve my problem.  after installing lion my system was running great for about a week.  suddenly it is having trouble connecting to the internet, running slow and the history pages are appearing without asking for them..  unable to get my homepage when opening up, just get a white screen. if i go to the history, i can get the homepage.  Only able to access my homepage by waiting for ever or getting it from the history.
    please help

    Peter, thank you for responding.  No, I am not referring to the initial start up.  I downloaded Yosemite over a week ago and feel it is running very slow when switching websites.  Also, I have experienced numerous hangups causing me to force quite much more than before.
    I just cleared my Safari history (I am guessing that is what you meant by "clean the old internet-caches" and restarted Safari.  I will see how it goes.
    I uses a file called "Desktop" from my IPhoto library for my desktop pictures. It contains about 20 pictures.  I configured it that way in Preferences, but it seems whenever I shut down and restart my computer it reverts to the generic picture of Yosemite.  As for the question mark and "Update Needed" showing on my startup log in screen, I think I fixed that by changing my password in Preferences.
    No that I have cleared the Safari history, I will see how things go.

  • After installing Lion on my Mac mini I no longer get a sound whe I plug in a usb device, and sometimes iTunes does not recognize my iPad.  Is this normal (lack of usb recognition sound)?

    After installing Lion on my mini, I no longer get a "recognition sound" when I plug in a usb device.  Is this normal?

    I am not sure any Mac every had a sound for plugging/unplugging USB devices.
    You may be right. It's only on Windows that the sound is created and heard.
    I know that since Tiger on this MBP, when I plug in my external scanner, I never heard anything.
    And plugging in my Blu-Ray recorder also does not make any sounds.
    I cannot speak for anything but my Mac laptops, however. Desktop Macs might make a sound.
