Saab's just pointed something out something that demands a further question......are these two machines being connected machine to machine, or via a router......?
trying to connect two machines and leaving the IP addresses to sort themselves out rarely works - you usually need to fix the IP addresses.
connecting both to a router is a far better idea
However if they ARE connected to a router, then the Mac isn't being allocated an IP address by it. Restart the router, then restart all the computers
I've should have realised that earlier - the 169. address is a giveaway, but didn't think about it 'till Saab commented
However, the last comment in your last post rather suggests that the user names and passwords don't match on the two machines. Nothing to do with separate "network" passwords - that went out with Win9X.
