Just a noob check, but did you select the account you want to share in the SMB prefs? Have you tried changing the NetBIOS Name and Workgroup in the network settings? I find that I often have to set these before my "new macs" will show up on windows PCs. To do this visit "Network" in system preferences, then select your primary/active network adapter and then click "Advanced..".
Inside this click the WINS tab. Should look something like this:
Set your computer name and the workgroup you want the mac to be part of here. |
