file sharing


Recommended Posts

As must of you have seen I have been having some file sharing problems and thanks for your help. I am half way there. I have gotten my Windows Xp machine to see my mac but I'm having problems with my mac machine seeing my windows xp machine. Any ideas?

Did you disable the Windows XP firewall - this seams to be the number one thing people forget.

EDIT

on the mac with the finder active, "GO" - "Connect to server".

type "smb://WindowsXPComputerName"

press enter.

the new and improved network folder in 10.3 doesn't seam to behave as well as the Jaguar connect to server window. but usually if you connect this way it works itself out.

10.3.3 features improvments when browsing networks, but that's a few weeks off.

In the meantime, do the ol' smb:// trick for now, and make some aliases to make your life easier ;)
