3. look at /System/Library/Filesystems for the symbol link afpfs.fs. It has to point to '/System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpfs.kext', mine was showing to 'System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpfs.kext' (notice the missing slash at the beginning)
4. if it's wrong (without the slash): 'rm afpfs.fs' and then a 'ln -s /System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpfs.kext afpfs.fs'

Guys - this did the trick for me! I can now access my Windows shares like with rev. 1. Who would have thought it's all down to a missing slash in a symlink.... many thanks Maksimum!

Mike :-)

How come that msn still ins't working??

I got it working by following the instructions above. Thanks for that.

[cite] Maksimum:[/cite]Got some other fix for the different problems (the one with the File Sharing not working on the Hackintoth and the one with not connecting to another file share):

The Rev.2-install has some problems with file paths of some symbol links.

1. open the Terminal
2. 'sudo -s' for becoming root
3. look at /System/Library/Filesystems for the symbol link afpfs.fs. It has to point to '/System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpfs.kext', mine was showing to 'System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpfs.kext' (notice the missing slash at the beginning)
4. if it's wrong (without the slash): 'rm afpfs.fs' and then a 'ln -s /System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpfs.kext afpfs.fs'
5. for fixing the problem of not being able to share something: look in /usr/sbin for AppleFileServer, also a symlink, which on my computer was also missing the slash at the beginning

This has me quite excited as I followed steps 1-4 without problems. I am now able to connect my OSx86 to my iMac to access my files.

However I don't under where I am suppose to symlink AppleFileServer to in step 5? I am still unable to use my iMac to network access my OSx86. Looks like I have half of the problem solved.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Interestingly though, I am able to connect to my friend's Mac without any problems. This can likely depend on your Network card or other hardware specifications then.

they are not trying to connect to macs they are trying to connect to window pc shares

When I applied steps 1-4 on my OSx86, it fixed my problem right away as I could connect to my Leopard iMac where as before I could not.

However I still cannot connect in the reverse, from my Leopard iMac to my OSx86.

So I was thinking it may be step 5 is where the problem lies.

However I am a newbie so I am not sure how to apply "for fixing the problem of not being able to share something: look in /usr/sbin for AppleFileServer, also a symlink, which on my computer was also missing the slash at the beginning"

before in steps 1-4, he wanted to symlink afpfs.kext to afpfs.ps
where does AppleFileServer symlink to?
or what command do I need to type to fix the / missing before usr/sbin?

I hope this makes it clearer

I am able to connect to my Windows PC-shares without problems as well.

WinLinMac01,

Quote:

When you find the symlink "AppleFileServer" > Get info > note path to original.

Can someone tell me what their AppleFileServer's original path is?
I 'rm AppleFileServer' before noting original path and I don't want to reinstall everything just to get this file.

Thank you so much. That fixed my problem of nothing being able to use the "Connect to Sever" function. It was always showing a message that the address was not recognized as a file share, no matter what I type there.

Now it's working! :D
