RE: Making a network between my Macmini and My windows 7 machine

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Ramy,

Sorry about the delay,

 If you go back on the windows machine to your setup of the shared drive / 
folder and set the user account to "everyone and give it full access / 
administration rights and then ok this then go to the security tab and again 
add everyone and again with full access / administration rights you should then 
not get prompted for the username and password as everyone has full access to 
the share, 
Of course if you need to restrict access to less than full then I'd suggest 
setting a password on the username you are using to access the share.

 Also before the changing of the share and security settings, do you have the 
username you are using set as a member of the group you have given access 
rights to within the share and security tabs,

If the user is not a member of the group in the windows machine then they wont 
be able to get in to the share.

   I hope this makes sense 

 Give me a yell if yo still have troubles.

Try entering no password or set one under the user manager for the account you 
wish to use to access.

RE: Making a network between my Macmini and My windows 7 machine

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Ramy,

 Yes very possible.

 As scott has said use cable as much as possible to transfer your data.
 Wired is far better for speed and stable connectivity  when transferring large 
amounts of data.


On your windows machine,
Open windows explorer and find the folder/ folders you wish to share or be able 
to copy your data into from the mac,
 Right click on the folders one by one and do this if there are multiple or 
create one folder and copy your other folders into that so you have one share 
for connecting to, rather than multiple which could get confusing 

 On the folder you wish to share right click and select properties from the 
tabs,
 Select advanced sharing,
 Open this,
Tick the box that says share this folder ticked or unticked,
Tab once and 
Give it a name that makes sense.

Tab again  to the share with how many users 
I suggest changing the number of users to a low number like 3 or similar as 
it's only your mac accessing this share,
Then tab again to settings permissions,
Enter on this,
 Select everyone which is in this case just you,
 Tab down to allow full access and select this,
 Then tab down and hit enter,

This will put you back at the advanced sharing option, shift tab or tab until 
you find the tab name 
and then right arrow to the security  tab,
 tab down to the  option that says 
Edit, this should be 2 tabs from the name "Security".

Then in the list of possible users select or highlight the everyone option and 
then tab down to 
Allow full control,
 I would tick this as you again are the only user accessing this share,

Then tab until you find Ok,
 Click ok and then tab to ok again, if ok isn't there at this point click 
closed.

 The properties window will close at this point and your shared folder will be 
available.

 On your mac, try accessing the share by doing a command key and K, then type 
in 
Smb://Machine Name.

 Use the windows machine name as that is what you are actually connecting to, 
this should then open the access on your mac to the share on your windows 
computer,

Using SMB or samba will help with the connection to your windows machine as 
they use different formats AFP on the mac and most likely ntfs on the windows 
machine then try copying between the mac and your windows share,

 Please note that mac computers by default will not normally copy to an NTFS 
file structure so this could be an issue.

Also note that if you wish to secure this share you would be better creating a 
group in admistrative tools and computer management / users and computers on 
the windows side and putting the user in to that group who you wish to have 
access to the share,

 Then under the share and security tabs as above add that group in as the 
accounts that you wish to give access to the shared folder.
Rather than using everyone.

Hope this helps.

Agree with you on that one.  On my gigapower network with att I get really 
great band wwidth with wired compared to eh wireless network around this big 
house.  A lot of blind spots  wher no wifi around and that’s  why I asked about 
mesh routers around the house.

I’ll take the network question part of this.  For best performance you’d use a 
wire.  Wireless is good but wired is still your fastest option.  You can nail 
that wired connection to gigabit and get quite a bit of throughput.  Wireless 
will work but expect the wire to be as much as twice as fast possibly more.  
(That’s a rough estimation there’s a lot of factors to consider)

One other option you might go with is setting up a network attached storage 
that both your Mac and windows have access to.  You can get several terabytes 
for a couple hundred bucks and then you don’t have to leave both machines on

Re: Making a network between my Macmini and My windows 7 machine

[Scott Granados]

I’ll take the network question part of this.  For best performance you’d use a 
wire.  Wireless is good but wired is still your fastest option.  You can nail 
that wired connection to gigabit and get quite a bit of throughput.  Wireless 
will work but expect the wire to be as much as twice as fast possibly more.  
(That’s a rough estimation there’s a lot of factors to consider)

One other option you might go with is setting up a network attached storage 
that both your Mac and windows have access to.  You can get several terabytes 
for a couple hundred bucks and then you don’t have to leave both machines on 
all the time or depend on Windows.  You can use also different file transfer 
methods SIFS for Windows, and so forth which should perform better.  Just 
another way to get from here to there, take it a you wish and good luck.

Re: Making a network between my Macmini and My windows 7 machine

[David Griffith]

A few pointers.

You can do this as long as both machines are on the same wifi network.

1. You will need to have Windows 7 setup so that you have a login password.

2. You will need to have your drives /folders permission  on Windows to 
be shared. Go to the properties of each drive/folder you want to share 
and make sure that sharing is enabled. Go to advance


sharing to set up whether you want the ability to just read or edit 
files through your sharing link.
3. On the Mac side use command shift C to bring up computer in Finder. 
Look down for Network and see if you can see your Windows Machine there. 
If you can see it copy the name  to the pasteboard that the Mac 
recognises it by.
4. Now press command K to set up a network connection. Paste in the name 
of the pc you want to connect to.
 Then tab to the request for password that will come up and type in the 
normal password that you normally use to access your windows machine.


That is pretty much it. You will see the drives on your network machine. 
Whether you can access them will depend on whether you have set sharing 
permissions on the Windows side.

Hello all:

don't know if this is possible, but I need to make a network between
my mac mini and my windows 7 computer, the reason is that, my data is
very huge and I need to use my Hd that is already on my windows
machine.
so, will my idea can be achieved or it is not possible?
also, is there any other way that I can do this/
and, what is the best, to use network cable or to use wireless
network? note that in my mac mini there is a port for the network
cable.

Thanks in advance.
