LAN PC's in Finder

Lately, I have noticed that Finder does not always display connected PC's. When this happened in Windows I could do a network find but I don't seem to have a similar option in OSX - I just have to wait till they show up!

What options do I have? (Some of these PC's are permanently on and connected and the iMac is left on permanently as well so I have no idea why they 'disappear' (though they are not 'mounted')

Either hit to Go > Network in the Menubar to see if anything is there. Or, you can directly enter the IP address. Just right click the finder icon in the dock, hit "Connect to server". Enter the IP address as SMB://xx.xx.xx.xx/ and hit connect.

And if that's you in the avatar (user picture), then I can't help but say, "hey! What's up!"

Ahh.... Network - of course

I downloaded muCommander and just learnt about SMB. Interesting that my Parallels C drive is just a subfolder of my OSX C drive - I was envisioning a separate reference of some sort.

Yes, that's me in my astronomical observatory. "Hey" back at you
