My Vista PC can ping my Mac but I can't see it in the network

I have a network consisting of one PC running Windows Vista Ultimate wired to a WRT300N V1 and a MacBook Pro hooked up wirelessly to the same router. The router is connected to a Cox cable modem. Both the PC and the Mac belong to the same workgroup named "workgroup". Both the PC and the Mac can communicate with the router on 192.168.1.1 and both have access to the internet through the router. My problem is that I can't network the PC and the Mac. I can ping the Mac and get response but the Mac can't ping the PC nor see it. Nor can the PC see the Mac in the network environment so file sharing is impossible. The PC and the Mac have IP:s 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.100 respectively and both have subnet 255.255.255.0. I have built many network, PC to PC and PC to Mac but never with Windows Vista and never had this problem.
Can anyone think of a solution?

How can I get ALL of my Google Calendars to show on the iCal on my iPhone? I see all of my Google Calendars on the iCal on my Mac, but I do not see them in the iCal on my iPhone. I only see one Google Cal, but not the others.

Can't see PC's on network, but can ping them, connect to server etc

Hi All
I'm experiencing something pretty bizarre.
I have a small network at my office. There are 3 PC's, and 2 Macs, one of them a Mac Mini running 10.6.5. All computers are set to the same workgroup. All the PCs can see all the Macs, no problem.
Yet my Mac Mini can (most of the time) only see the other Mac. (When I use Go > Network).
I can ping all the PC's from the Mac Mini. But they won't show up in the network view.
The annoying thing is sometimes I can see all the PC's (theres no pattern to it!) and I have connected to a printer on one of the PC's. With that particular PC, if I use 'Connect to Server' I get
'Select the volumes you want to mount on "packing-pc" but there are no volumes in the list.
Whats really bugging me is that sometimes all the pcs are there when I view the network, and sometimes they aren't.
ANyone got any ideas please? I'm pulling my hair out! I wanna ditch my PC at work but until I can print reliably (to the PC with the printer attached) I can't!
Thanks in anticipation!
Mark

I'm wondering if this is connected?

There really isn't any workaround to the cost. You can't get the parts needed to fix it yourself. Only Apple has those parts and they do not sell them to end users.
Sure you could take it apart and clean everything and the screen might start working again but then it might not. Depending on what cause it to stop working in the first place. Like something got shorted out.

You are telling us you read and tried the normal methods?
Boot Camp or Taskbar. Option on restart. "x" on startup. And none of those work.

Printing From iBook To Printer on Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printers

Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately.
I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista RC1 on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.

That might have been the situation for the beta's and first RC's, but I have a final build. Plus the fact that other Windoze notebooks see the printer on the Vista box just fine leads one to believe it is a mac/Vista specific issue.
If anyone actually has experience with a MAC and Vista , I would appreciate hearing from you.
thanks,

Can't see some of the .MOV videos I took (on my Mac).

Hi!
When I import every photo and video from my iPhone through Image Capture, I can't see some of the videos I took with my iPhone. I have the iPhone 4. However, I can see them on my iPhone—precisely not on my Mac. They are .MOV video, and nor QuickTime nor VLC can't read them.
What should I do?
Thanks a lot.

I'm not near my Mac right now but when I try to open the videos with QuickTime, it says that it doesn't recognise the format—it gives me an error notification. I will try to convert it but I don't think it is going to work since the video seems to be flawed.
Thanks.

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

Someone else in the forum told me how to do this. If you have Onyx on your system then select Parameters, iTunes and turn off high contrast mode. If you don't have Onyx, I'd suggest getting it. It is freeware and used to help maintain your system. Good luck

I converted from a PC to a Mac Mini. I have my PC documents backed up on a DVD disk. I have an external DVD drive connected to the Mac Mini. I want to open them up and save them to the Mac, BUT....when I put the DVD disk in the Mac is NOT reading it!

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your quick response. I should add....it worked before. When I previously inserted the two DVDs into this remote drive, and I went into finder, I could click on the "remote device" line and see all my saved documents (excel, word, etc) on the DVD and open them on the Mac. Now I cannot see them, when I try to open them on the Mac, nothing happens, nothing is displayed. I just re-tested the remote DVD drive with a CD and, no problem, it opened up the CD via iTunes and I cold play the CD. SO......I know the remote DVD drive (it's an LG by the way) is fine, it's something to do with some settings on my mini mac,especially where I could open it previously. I do not remember changing any settings since then.
When I go into system preferences and click on CD/DVD it gives me options of how to open up a music CD (default is iTunes), a DVD (default is iMovie), etc. The problem is my DVD is all miscellaneious files/documents. I just want to be able to see them in the finder. I also tried to open them via microsoft word, from the remote disk and again, it could not open the drive, even though some of the documents were microsoft word documents. Again, I was able to open them previously and the DVD is not corrupted in any way.
Any additional advice?
Thank you!

There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox

Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox account, no password prompted and account is online and enabled... Thoughts?

Have you tried clicking on the lock to see it it will then ask for a passwored. Otherwise, try reblooting.

4. In case any of the previous operations work but the settings don't "stick". There are two plists associated with the settings:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.XXXXX-XXXXXXX.plist
The first is global to all accounts while the second is in your home directory. The X's are a sequence of hyphaninated letters and numbers. If you can get these removed then it will probably revert to a default resolution.
