On my windows computer I have set up file sharing and have selected a few files I wish to access from my mac.

When I go onto my macbook, Which is connected to the network via wifi, I have no idea how i actually veiw the shared folders on my windows computer. Can some one please tell me?

I had it working with tiger as the comuter showed up in the left side of my finder but I have not got anything this time with leopard.

If it fails to show up, you can use the Finder menubar > Go > Network. It will be much like the network shortcut in the Tiger finder.

Otherwise, you can still connect using the ip address (Go > Connect to server > smb://xx.xx.xx.xx/
