I just bought an Acer Aspire 5736Z. on connecting it to my existing wifi network, It has identified my MacBook Pro as a wireless printer (I have a wireless printer that it has identified), in fact the same wireless printer that I have connected to the wifi network. It cannot "see" the Apple but the apple can see the Acer. I cannot share folders from the Apple to the Acer. Help!!

Sir, please check file sharing between Windows 7 and Mac : http://www.trickyways.com/2011/07/file-sharing-mac-os-x-lion-and-pc-windows-7/ Regards, MCP | MCTS | MCITP

Maybe you think you brought an Apple computer but they sold you a printer. Apple make some strange inovative products.Also, try http://www.thetechgroup.com.au/forum/1/, it worked for me! _____________________________________________________ Real Engineers, Real Problems, Real Solutions www.thetechgroup.com.au
