That is to say, pick a different subnet and apply those settings on both machines. one side could browse/copy/read files on the other), regardless of these two machines in question?

Troubleshooting crossover on mac code#
MAC gives me "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'smb://10.10.0.2' could not be read or written (Error code -36)" message. My PC shows that it's connected to MAC, but when I tried on my MAC -> GO -> Connect to Server -> smb://manual IP address which is 10.10.0.2.
