SS Says I'm not sharing but I am

[Stephan Winn]

I have a Mac Mini.  On my end, it shows that I'm sharing my files.  but others can't see them and SS it telling me I'm not.  Anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve this?

Firewall perhaps?

I honestly don't know.  if i had to guess, i'd say no.

It would be my first thought,  as last time i messed with OSX it had a built in firewall that was blocking ports by default, and i had to fight to get them open. ( not for SS, but for something else i wanted to do )    

The other would be checking your router.. be sure the port is manually forwarded there back to your machine. ( or have upnp enabled. ).   Same here, in my case upnp was NOT enabled by default for security reasons.  So i added a trigger ( instead of opening it up 24/7 )
