this was working and now it isnt and it is driving me nuts.
I want to share files over the network between my mac and pc. simple as that. Ive turned on sharing and set up a folder to share, but when I do go>connect to server smb://GARAGEDESKTOP and then put in the password it says connection failed you do not have permission to access this server. WHAT DO? i have been googling all around and found nothing.

Are they on the same network, or just plugged into the same modem? As in no router?
