[QUOTE="myjay610, post: 79833"] Make sure you are using the right protocol when you are entering the IP address into the connect field; windows use samba, so your connect field should be "smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" or, if you know the computer name from looking in mycomputer you can just do: smb://<computername>. If you are using simple filesharing, there shouldn't be a usename/pw to connect to your dell; setting up the un/pw is a bit more complicated on windows. John [/QUOTE]
