Share files on Windows and Mac PC when connected to WIFI

Hi Simon,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that the PC’s are not able to see each other under network connections when connected through WIFI. In order to make the PC’s visible under Network, the network sharing needs to be enabled on both the PC’s.



To turn on network discovery and sharing settings on Windows PC you can follow the steps mentioned below.



Follow the steps mentioned below to enable SMB feature for file sharing.

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
   Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for Run.
   
2. In Run dialog box, type appwiz.cpl and hit enter.
   
3. Now on the left hand pane click on Turn Windows features on or off.
   
4. Now on the Windows feature window scroll down and check the box next to
   SMB 1.0 CIFS File Sharing Support.
   
5. Click on OKand
   Restartthe PC.
   

Follow the steps mentioned below to turn on the network and file sharing.

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
   Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for Run.
   
2. In Run dialog box, type control and hit enter.
   
3. Click on ‘View by’ and change it to
   large icons.
   
4. Now look for Network and Sharing Center and click on it.
   
5. On the left hand pane click on
   Change Advanced Sharing Settings.
   
6. Now under Private (current profile) section check the box next to
   Turn on network discovery and Turn on file and printer sharing.
   
7. Now click on Save changes.
   

Now to turn on file sharing on Mac you can follow the articles

Cant get Mac Book to share Windows 10 printer


Hello -

Been tearin' my hair out a little on this one, have scoured the net and posted on a couple Mac forums to no avail.

PC is a brand new tower running Windows 10 & I love it but I cant seem to get my Mac laptop to connect to the Kodak c310 AIO printer when I hook it up to the new tower. It connects to my old Mac Pro tower easily over the same LAN.

The LAN is an ether-net using a Linksys 4 port router. The Mac identifies the tower as being on the network and seems to try to print to the Kodak but then just hangs at sending the data. As I said above, it prints fine over the same network to my old Mac tower.

I have followed all the steps here: http://macs.about.com/od/printershar...-Mac.htm#step1

Enabled LPD protocol & printer sharing in Windows 10.

Any advice or suggestions most appreciated thanks for reading!
