[muglo] Re: Networking

Hi Tim
does your PC have a Workgroup?
if so, you can add the mac to it by opening Directory Access  
(Applications/Utilities/)
Under the Services tab, you will see SMB/CIFS. Choose it and click  
Configure
when the Window pops up, type in the name of your workgroup

Can you see the PC from the Mac (New Finder Window and choose Network  
in the sidebar)? it might take a couple of seconds to show up.
