Click For Summary
To connect a Mac to a shared folder on a Windows 7 machine using SMB, enter the IP address in the format smb://192.168.1.15 in the "Connect to Server" dialog. If the shared folder selection dialog appears empty, try specifying the shared folder directly using smb://192.168.1.15/shared_folder_name. If the shared folder is hidden, prefix the folder name with a dollar sign, like smb://192.168.1.15/$shared_folder_name. This method is essential for accessing shared resources effectively across different operating systems.

From Go->Connect To Server
I then enter smb:192.168.1.15 (the ip address of my running local windows7 with account named "Computer" and password "computer"). I click Connect and then enter the account information to view the popup of "Select the volumes you want to mount on" dialog but it is empty. Do you know how can I add a shared folder in windows that my Mac can view ? Thank you a lot.

smb://192.168.1.15:139

try the above, if it still shows nothing try this

smb://192.168.1.15/*shared folder*

without * and use the name of the shared folder

add a $ before the name of the shared folder as it may for some reason be a hidden share.

i personally don't use mac so the information above may not be accurate but i work with them on an enterprise network and its beyond frustrating haha best of luck.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
