Hello,
I am newby to Macs and networking. Managed to set a home wi-fi network for a PC (Win XP Home SP3) and a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.7. The PC is connected (cabled) to a Linksys router and the Mac is connecter wirelessly.
I can access the Internet from both machines, but I cant manage to get the Win XP Home to access the OS X 10.5.7. Have read many articles about it, but none of them seemed to address the problem completely (older versions of MAC OS X, incomplete info, etc.).
The only thing I want to do is to access one or more Win XP Home shared folders using a password-protected account, but (please, help me), I would appreciate if somebody could give the full information.
Thank you.
Adding some more information, I have Norton 360 running on my Win XP Home...
