DarkestDream Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I never allow sharing of my HD to the public when i found out today. I connected to my college public network. and it required my ID and my password to use their network. So i did and it conencted but one thing. i found out when i went to Network and click on Server and found my shadows-computer.local there and i click on it and found out all my data is shared. iim freaking out about this. i cant find a option to turn off the sharing. I already looked in my Mac Help and im not getting any info from it. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isteve Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Go to System Preferences > Sharing there you will be able to turn on and off services. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkestDream Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 The sharing is already disabled. but why am i still seeing my shadows-computer.local is still there on my Network in Explorer (You know, Mac Version of Window Explorer, not sure what the name for mac, finder?)?

isteve Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) So what your seeing is your local directory in your "Finder" when you click on Network "called Network Browser", not from another computer on the network, correct.This shows all servers that you can connect to and one of those is your own. This does not mean other people see or can connect to you, even if you were sharing it they would need a name and password to gain access.

Mx² Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Like isteve said, try to see your files from another computer on the network because I bet you won't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
