DCM202 > DIR655 > Setting up Mac/PC File sharing?
« on: November 22, 2011, 08:37:11 AM »

Hello,

I'm a router newb and am usually able to figure out router issues as they come up with a Google/DLink Forum/Trial-Error approach.  I'm trying to set up my PC (wired) and Mac (wireless) to share files back and forth.  I was originally able to set up a Windows Homegroup by setting my PC up with a Wireless-N USB card, but that's ****ped out so I was wondering if there was a way to connect the two since they're already connected to the router.

I've read a little bit about port forwarding and virtual server features, but I'm no Networking major so it's just not clicking for me and the manual doesn't give a straightforward (to me) way of setting up a file sharing condition.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Only thing I did was set up reserved IP addresses on the router for the devices, then share out a folder(s) on the windows PC. I have stuff on a Windows 7 server here. I use SMB:IP address of the pc your trying to connect to on the Mac.
