I have tried doing the things that other forums say to do (going into the local and changing the settings) and I have still had no luck. If I click on network on my pc it does not list my mac and I have tried everything to get them to connect but still no luck.

Could you be more specific as to what you have tried already?

These were the directions I was told to follow and this would allow them to be networked but this did not work. Goto Start Menu Search for: Local Hit Enter Select Local Security Policy Goto Local Policies> Security Options Double Click on Network security: LAN Manager Authentication Change level to: Send LM # LTLM Responses Then, Goto Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP De-select Require 128-bit encryption Hit OK

Can your Mac see your Windows 7 machine?

I just linked my Mac OS X 10.4 with a Windows 7 laptop and I didn't do anything that your instructions said. I had the same problem as you, make sure you have sharing turned on in the Mac and PC. You may need to log on with your user name and password that you use on the Mac. I can see my PC on the Mac as well but not able to access files. I am able to access files in my Mac from the PC and I even transferred files wirelessly to the Mac but I am not able to edit info after transfer. Still an ongoing project.
