I just bought a MacBook Pro and I'm trying to share folders with the PC's on my home network.
I followed the sharing Help instructions and I can see the MacBook's "Public" folder in the Network connections window on my PC's. I can also see any folders that I put inside the Public folder, but I can't seem to share any other folders - or perhaps I should say I can't see any other shared folders on the PC's.
I went through the steps in the Sharing wizard(?) on the Mac to add shared folders and allow for Windows sharing. They show up in the wizard on the Mac, as separate folders, outside of the Public folder, but they don't show up on the PC's.
If I move these folders (or copies of them) into the Public folder then I can see them on the PC by opening the Public folder. However, if I leave them in their current locations - or don't copy them - I can't see them on the PC.
I even created a New Person and gave this New Person permission to access the folders, but since the folders don't even show up on the PC, this doesn't appear to have made any difference.
I doubt I should have to copy or move every folder I want to share into the Public folder, so what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
