I just bought my first mac the mac-Mini. I really love it and I am like a kid in a candy store.
I have a question maybe someone can help me.
What are the procedures for my Mac Mini to see my Windows PC
I am on a network where I have two PC's and One mac.

Now my windows XP can see my Mac but I cannot get my mac to see my PC.

How can I let the mac connect to my WorkGroup??

Thanks

Go to System Preferences > Sharing.

Enable "Personal File Sharing" and "Windows Sharing". If you your Mac still cannot find the Windows box, then see if you have any firewall on in your Windows box.

I switched April myself and had the very same problem. After disabling the firewall, I found that the Mac detects network connection automatically.

To connect, click on Network in Finder and it should show your Windows computers. A list of share folders appears. Select one to mount it as a drive.

Quite easy

Congratulations on your first Mac! I love my mini as well

It's been great experiences ever since!
