Windows XP Pro not connecting to Mac OS X

I've setup my home network. The Mac is able to access the PC, no problems. However the PC does not connect to the Mac. I've done the Ping test and it works fine. I've enabled Windows Sharing on the Mac. The path to the Mac simply is not recognized as being valid. In Windows, when I try to add a new network place I get the following error message: "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another". I'm using \\computername.local\username
Please help! Thanks!

Sounds like you are looking for some support on the drivers for this laserjet. Here is a website with those drivers. Try these and let me know if you have any trouble or if this successfully answers your question.

Firefox (latest versions) on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7 show "this Connection is Untrusted" on my bank site

This started for me 1/17/2011 on the savingsbank.com website:
Firefox (latest versions) on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7 show "this Connection is Untrusted" on my bank site https://www.savingsbank.com
NO other browsers - Explorer, Chrome, Safari - give this error box on this site. Please advise if this has to do with the bank site? or Firefox compatibility.
Saw in a forum someone else having this problem and they were told it had to do with their Date and time being off?? I've been on several computers, all with the correct date and time and they've all shown this Insecure Certificate statement on my bank site with Firefox and no other browser.

I've looked at the banking site with IE8 and it does NOT show me that "This connection is Untrusted" window. (please see attached screen shot of viewing the site with IE8) It opens fine and has "Identified by Network Solutions" showing on the address bar as it always does.
The latest version of Opera (not earlier ones) does show a problem with the website's security certificate.
We've contacted the bank about this, and they say there's no problem with their certificate but are looking into it.
My question remains, why only Firefox and one version of Opera claim this and NO other browser?

Connecting a Mac to a Window's 2008 small business server

I'm looking to purchase an iMac to use at work. Everyone else in the office uses a PC and are connected to our current Window's 2008 server. I would be the only person using a Mac. Is there any way to connect a Mac to the server?

There should be no problems connecting the Mac to a Windows server for file sharing. I do it every day. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1568
If there are Windows-based programs that you will need to use, you may need to run Windows on the Mac for those programs, but there are several very practical ways to accomplish that.

VPN Connectivity from Mac to Windows Server

I have been using Windows OS all my life, now I recently bought a new Mac machine, and it my first time using Mac OSX Lepord, so I don't no much, I tried to connect my Mac to a VPN - windows using the mac VPN Connectivity provided which uses tunneling Protocol, I am successful in establishing connectivity to windows server, but the problem is, it still uses ip address assigned by the router while rowsing, and not the ip address of the VPN machine while browsing sites, the reason I use VPN connectivity is to bypass ISP who blocks most of the useful sites. I tried to set proxy setting in my safari browser, but failed and also automatic proxy does not work, can someone hep me and tell me how to achieve what I am trying to achieve using MAc.

exero –
Though this will be a pain it will help trace down the problem.
Since you are attempting to VPN to the SBS what happens if you connect the Mac locally dose RDP connection map the drives and can you map to the SBS shares directly?
What happens if you try connecting with a PC via the VPN?
Also (though risky) I would open all the ports on your firewall that point to the SBS and try connecting to the VPN again with Mac and see what happens. (Don’t forget to close them back).
Below are two links that may provide some additional information. The first is from Microsoft and list all of the ports used by MS products. The second one is a public post that focuses on SBS 2003.

Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal? For example, telnet ip address of other machine

Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal?
For example, telnet <ip address of other machine>
I m a networking student and I have learned to connect 2 machines on Red hat Linux OS on same Ethernet LAN which has same subnet mask. As Mac OS X is also a linux based OS I m trying to connect my Mac with my friends windows based machine using telnet <ip address of his machine>. However, I get a message "unable to connect to remote host".
Can anyone please tell me is this the problem because of different OS or it is something different!
Please reply...it will of great help..

The machine you're trying to connect to needs a Telnet server running on it - telnetd listening on port 23 (usually).
Incidentally, Mac OS X is not a Linux based OS, it is based on BSD Unix.

Connecting to Mac bound to a Windows domain from Windows

I have a 2010 MBP running OSX 10.6.7 which is "bound to the [my company name] domain" (that's how our corporate IT department describes it; not sure if this is technically accurate). We have a mixed Mac/Windows environment but are predominantly Windows based (I log onto my Mac using my Windows user id/password).
I'm trying to access shared files on this machine from a Windows 7 machine on the same domain.
Before I had my Mac bound to the Windows domain, I was able to access my shared files by following the instructions in OSX help (I enabled a shared folder, added my Windows username and password as a local admin on my Mac, turned on SMB access for that user, and all was good).
Now that my Mac is bound to the domain, I can access the directories associated with the local user account I have on my Mac by connecting from my Windows machine as a different user and then entering the account name and password associated with my local user on the Mac.
I can't access the directories associated with my Windows account.
I tried adding a local user (sharing only) to my Mac with the same userid/password as my Windows account, but this prevented me from logging into my corporate network from my Mac, so I deleted this local user.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Partial success: after some experimentation with my local IT guru, I'm now able to access my home directory (which is tied to a network account, not a local one), but I can't access it using my Windows user ID/password.
Here's what we worked:
Confirm sharing is enabled for desired folder, SMB sharing is turned on, my local user account has access to this folder (in the users section of the file sharing dialog), and this local user account is enabled for Windows sharing. [This is no different from what we had previously done]
Get Info on the same desired folder and give read/write access to the folder (help doesn't mention anything about this step; I'm assuming that in normal use - where you're using a local account instead of a Centrify network account - you don't need to do this because you have access to these folders by default. In my case, since I'm sharing a folder in the directory associated with my network account instead of the directory associated with my local account, these permissions are not enabled by default.
Log onto my Mac from a Windows machine using my Mac's local username/password. [Again, this is no different that what I was doing previously, but because of step 2, I can now access the folder associated with my network user]
I'd prefer to just stick with a single user id/password, but this at least lets me access my files.

Network - Windows connecting to Mac printer.

I'm having trouble getting Windows XP to print to the Mac shared printer - It says its getting the drivers, and then the printer shows up in options, but when I print to it, the printer just never prints.
How do I get it to actually print?

Well, I finally got everything working last night, thanks to (a) the wonderfully clear step-by-step directions by iFelix (although they should add a quick word about port :631); very helpful comments from this forum; and sheer persistance in dealing with Windows XP.
Here's what I did wrong:
1. Omitted and then mis-typed the port number after the IP address.
2. Didn't check the signal strength of the 802.11g network (it was strong enough to see the Mac, but bizzarly not strong enough to see the printer attached to the Mac). Everything worked fine as soon as got an increased signal level.
3. Didn't read far enough ahead in the instructions and downnloaded the drivers for the Lexmark Z35 instead of using the Apple drivers as recomended by iFelix.
4. Forgot that under Windows you have to "Uninstall" - you can't just drag something into "Recycle" - so I couldn't understand for the longest time why XP kept finding the Lexmark drivers even after I'd emptied the Recycle bin.
Bottom line. "Thank you, iFelix" for your very detailed instructions. I only wish that Apple would make their own "Help" as clear and detailed.

How do i connect my mac book pro to a tv?

Iv just aquired a mac book pro after having windows computers all my life. Im struggling to find a way to connect my mac book to the T.V.
How do i solve this and what do i need to buy?

I am assuming your TV has HDMI connector.
In that case, if your MacBook is the retina-one, you have HDMI connector there too. All you need is HDMI cable to connect teh two.
If your MacBook has thunderbolt port instead, you need Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and HDMI cable.
Hope this makes sense.

Is it possible to connect a mac book pro via thunderbolt and a dvi switchbox (multiple computers) to a thunderbolt display?

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a thunderbolt display.Since I have not only apple computers with a thunderbolt port I wonder if it's possible to connect my mac book pro via thunderbolt and a DVI switchbox via a "mini displayport to DVI connector" to the thunderbolt display at the same time. Thunderbolt is a bus architecture. Thus there must be an ingoing and an outgoing port on the display. The rearview of the display I've seen so far don't show this:
If this is not possible then I must question the market chances of this product. Seems as if the product marketing guys exaggerated the launch of the thunderbolt technology.

How to connect windows laptop (vga) to thunderbolt display?
AHHH??!!!!!! Was that your original question?? I assumed you were trying to output FROM your computer (MacBook Pro w/ Thunderbolt) to the new display and then OUT to be the video source to a DVI switcher.
MB Pro w/TB ---> TB Display ---> mDP-to-DVI adapter ---> DVI switcher
So it seems as if it's not possible to use the thunderbolt display with the mini display port adapter to DVI you've mentioned.
I did not understand that you were trying to use other PC's into a switcher and then THAT Video source to connect INTO the TB display. If THAT is what you're trying to do, then NO.... You can NOT use the new TB Display to be used to display "FROM" a DVI switcher (and also can NOT be used to display from other Non-TB-Apple computers).
I've also called apple. The statement was that one needs a computer with osx 10.6.x in order to connect the thunderbolt display. That makes it impossible to hook a windows pc or older mac to the new and shiny thunderbolt display.
I wonder why apple doesn't state this in their technical descriptions...?
-ais-swiss
Actually, the state that information all over the Tech Specs on the Apple Store website.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC914LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Here are two different statements from that webpage:
So yes.... other NON-Apple PC's (or non-TB devices) do Not have the Thunderbolt technology (hardware/software) to be able to communicate with the TB display or other TB devices.
