Way to go! Admitting you have issues is the first step towards solving the problem.

Thanks for the necropost. He/she actually fixed it.
That has sorted it, thanks very much
But that's okay. We've seen such posts before. Many times. 😉

Yes, that was the way I installed.

Did you install the Mac Sonos app on the computer and try adding via the Sonos app on the MacBook (made lot easier for me last time I had issue).
I have already changed the computer name in the system preferences. No firewall running
This is a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8

Computers and their firewalls can be a little picky sometimes.

The first thing I always try is installing the Sonos app on the computer that has the folder you want to share.  Then using the app on that computer to add the folder.  A lot of times that makes it much simpler and works.

If you are already trying to add from that computer or another device, post what kind of computer it is.
