I've enabled SMB sharing in OS X Lion and have added folders to share, it says 'Windows Sharing: On' with a green circle next to it (from the sharing window) and that to access the volume I will need to to go to \\192.168.0.17
.
It also says that the OS X should be visible as 'macbook' in the network.
Both my WIndows 7 and OS X are connected to the same network, yet when I try to go to \\192.168.0.17
or from the Mac try to go to my Windows system (smb://192.168.0.6) the two OSs don't see each other.
Any ideas why?
Attempting to ping the Mac from Windows results in this output in the command prompt:
Pinging 192.168.0.17 with 32 bytes of data:

I'd start by trying to ping each other from either side. Open up a command line in Windows and do
ping 192.168.0.17
(assuming .17 is the Mac's IP). From OSX, open up a terminal and doping 192.168.0.6

actually I might have done that wrong, in Windows I tried ping 192.168.0.17 which gave me that destination host unreachable error, when I tried using 'ping \192.168.0.17' I got ping request could not find host \192.168.0.17' – meds – 2012-06-15T12:59:03.703
ping 192.168.0.17
without the backslashes is correct. – Banjer – 2012-06-15T13:04:07.3901I see no mention here of temporarily disabling your Windows Firewall for testing purposes, or opening up all the necessary port in your Firewall (137, 138, 139 and 445). Do you have an after-market firewall that came with an AV suite as well? No mention of turning on File and Printer sharing on the Windows Box. Sorry... can't assume you have done these things. – Bon Gart – 2012-06-15T13:29:58.033
I tried disabling the Windows firewall but no luck. – meds – 2012-06-15T13:36:43.843
