Ok guys, I'm new to the site, and I'm new to macs. So please have mercy.
(For the record I have searched for days, and can't get help on this issue)
I'm am try to share files from my windows XP desktop computer, to my macbook pro os 10.4, through a linksys wireless network. My notebook is currently connected to the network, meaning I can access the Internet. I try to activate the file sharing on my mac, and it asks me for a password. I have no idea what the password is. What is this "password?" Its not the common password that is set for security reasons on the mac.
I don't understand why it's asking me for a password when I'm already on the network!?? Its not this hard to share between pc's.
