Hi ,

1. Make sure that you have configured both windows share as well as the
macintosh share from the computer management - Shared Folders -> Shares -
right click -> new share .

2. Check the Enable Authentication Method is " Apple clear Text or
Microsoft" in computer management -> Shared folders - right click - you see
"Configure file server for macintosh"
there see the authentication method. then give a try in mac m/c.
