Hay guys

Im using a Mini mac running on OSx Leopard. I have enable SMB and file sharing in the previous version and worked fine.

In my new Leopard, i cant access (even view) the windows PCs (vista) that is in the same workgroup (all PCs and Mac are in the same workgroup). but i can view other PCs that re not in my work group. I changed the workgroup

System - network - advanced - wins.

but every time i reset the computer workgroup changes to default.
but i managed to create a share folder with Win PCs. but i still cant access or view them.

some one plz advise.
Many thankx

Did you check the firewall settings for the Vista machines? Specifically, are you allowing file sharing in the firewall exceptions?
