When your Mac and PC won’t see each other in the same network

When your Mac and PC won’t see each other in the same network, that’s because you are not in the same group.
Try to change the group name, so you’re both in the same ‘room’, here is how:
Go to your System Preference > Network > Click the connection you are on > Advanced…
Go to WINS tab and type the group name that the PC is on and click OK.
Now, the PC icon will be shown on your Shared folder in the Finder sidebar.
But, make sure you share the folder on your PC and let the PC firewall open its door. (How to deal with firewall? I’ll cover this in the next subject)
