[QUOTE="chi2flat, post: 313206, member: 25322"] [b]Ok - I went the windows network worgroup route[/b] I went back to my windows machine (and the hodgepodge network I tried to string toegether with two XP Pro and 1 XP home machine). I re-ran the network wizard and created a new network name - restarted the PC and VOILA, the mac was able to find the netowrk okay. I click on the icons, provided a password and now I am sharing folders. I have to say one thing, my IT Admin friend was never able to mix the Pro and Home versions of XP into a folder sharing network - and certainly not this easy. I am also considering Network Magic (which the 4.0 beta now supports MAC) to solve the Pro/Home debacle I have going on. Funny that I need a software solution to get the PCs to talk to each other but the MAC has no problem. Anyway - thanks for all your help so far.... I have a long way to go. [/QUOTE]
