Hi everybody!
I've been trying to do that the past couple of hours and I ran out of ideas... I don't know what to do anymore. So here goes. The machines are connected through ethernet. I can see that they detect that there is something on the other side of the cable (when one of them gets turned off it gets scanned by the other one etc) but that is how far it goes. I can't read the pc's drive even though I've set it up to have file and printer sharing and I can't get my pc to talk to my mac. Strangely the pc goes one step further. The message that pops out says that the specific folder that is on the network pane in osx can't be read because of permissions and stuff. There's no field though to put my user name and password or something!!!
So could you people help me before I drive myself nuts!!!

Go to Preferences in your Mac and enable "Personal File Sharing" and "Windows File Sharing." Both are built in, but need to be enabled before you can use them.

Yep done that already. That's why I don't understand what else I need to do.
I even tried to give a same name workgroup through directory access but nothing happened.
