Mac newbie help!
I have been using my two ReadyNAS drives on my windows network for several years. However, I have had a mac for a while now (2011 MBP now running Lion) whose itunes library I want to sync with the rea...
OK, I cannot connect to my PC any more at all. I have reviewed network settings- the workgroup matches, I have network connection, but the mac cannot connect to the PC and the PC cannot see the MAC. Worked when the CCC job started. Stopped part way (most of the way I think). Now wont work.
I can connect to the NAS, wouldnt let me write at first, but I connected as admin and now I can drag/drop files to/from the media folder on the NAS between two finder windows. Cannot connect to mac from NAS still in the "a new backup job" window in frontview. I have deleted all the backup jobs from the NAS, as there were quite a few (about 12) and I was no longer using them (used to use NAS for backup, but now have another NAS for that, so only use it as a music server)
I have a strong feeling that something in the mac network settings is messed up, but I dont really understand mac networking. Under SL it all worked fine- workgroups, network printing to printer on windows pc, rsync backup from NAS. Now the Mac just sulks and wont talk to anyone.
Is there a way of getting the mac to "forget" all the network settings? (except reformatting the HDD; I have already re-installed Lion from a blank disk)
