My wireless network (between XP machines and the mini) works great, but I'd like to be able to share out more than my user directory on the mini. Specifically, a directory of video clips that I've got on an external drive. Can this be done? Thanks!

Thanks. So just to confirm we're on the same page: AFP installed on the XP machine(s) will allow me to access the entire file structure on the Mac? I would've thought the change I'd have to make would have been on the Mac, but then again, if I knew, I wouldn't be here asking. :)

OS 10.4.5: Sharing Out Non User Directories - Solution

Looks like this is what I'm looking for. A freeware app called SharePoints, allowing you to share out any folder, much like what was possible in an earlier version of Mac OS (prior to me coming aboard):
