Just got a new Macbook, very impressed, have been a MS Windows users all my life. My home network machine is running Vista Home Premium, I need to be able to share files with my Macbook.
Network is set up fine, Macbook will share the itunes library on my Vista machine no problem, so everything seemed to be working OK.
However, when setting vista files as shared and assigned to "Everyone" on the network, they should be visible on any other machine attached to the network. The Macbook does not see any shared files. I expected to see a "Shared" area pop up in the left hand pane of Finder, with the name of my vista computer. I have set the workgorups to the same name.
I must have missed a simple check box somewhere, or something similar.
Any help would be much appreciated.
