[QUOTE="Mac_Daddy, post: 992744, member: 41064"] As long as all of the computers are on the same subnet (192.168.1.X), and the directories on the external HD are set up to be to shared (via Windows I assume), then all you have to do is enter the IP address of the PC that the HD is attached to in a browser window and you should be able to see the shared folders. I know that you have to go to system prefs, sharing and choose share files and folders using SMB (Windows) on the Mac if you want to share the other way but it won't hurt to set it up just in case.
