If it is just the Mac I might be able to help.<br>
<br>
If your mac and Linux machine won't see each other try changing the password on your mac user account. You can even change it straight back afterward. I had this problem with my mac and picked the tip up from a Mac book I had.<br>
Once I had changed the mac password, it all clicked into place and the two could see each other.<br>
