Now, that was a complicated read. They left out a few things and made it
harder than it actually is<g>
Here's how it is done I do it all the time because I'm constantly moving and
adding things to my network.
1> very very important, make sure you have full share on the pc(s) so that
it/they can be seen by the network or restricted share for just the folder
you want to share.
2> on your Mac(s), in system prefs, sharing, make sure file sharing is set
up. This involves checking its checkbox and making sure your account is
enabled for windows sharing and in options, click the types of sharing you
want to do like ftp, smb and afp.
3> from the desktop, click command-k to open your network and tab to and
punch browse. This will show you a list of all available items that the Mac
can find. Alternatively, if you have it handy or can find it, type:
smb://your.ip.info which is your pc's ip address like 192.168.1.12
4> if you chose browse, Select your poison from that list and press enter.
if you typed in an ip, you should see the name of your pc
5> press enter and you will be presented with a list of shares with which
you can connect.
6> click your chosen share and if prompted, type in the pc user id and
password If your pc has no user accounts, this will be your mac id and
password.
7> once connected, your share will be mounted on the desktop. To keep it
connected when you start your Mac, create an alias for it.
HTH!
