[QUOTE="snowshed, post: 1535393, member: 300043"] Results so far are a mixed bag, depending on which Windows OS I'm trying to connect with. So far, no solution has worked for getting access to the Mac from the Network icon or in any Windows OS tested so far. But, using the RUN option with the Mac's IP address seems to always work, again with mixed results. With XP, I can't see one external drive on the Mac. I suspect that's because it's NTFS formatted. I use Tuxera to read and write to this disk, since my original goal was to be able to take this drive to a Windows machine and access it. I'm considering reformatting it as a Mac disk. I chose NTFS because I wanted to be able to attach it to any Windows computer. Win 7 is almost the opposite. The RUN command lets me access drives on the Mac that are not marked as shared. :( But I need to make a comprehensive list/checklist of what works with what and when. Will keep you updated. [/QUOTE]
