I have so far failed to get windows 7 to connect to anything that is not windows 7.
I used to able to log in to my iMAC over my network and have full access. Now I can only see the Public folder.
I can see my network drive in the network folder, but I can’t access it.
I was forced to buy windows 7 because vista was so bad, and now I find the it won’t do the one thing I want to do with it.
