Hi Guys,

I have a Macbook running OSX10.4.11.

I am using a simple wired network to share the Internet from my Macbook to a Windows XP Laptop.

In short, the internet comes from Airport, and I share it using the Ethernet port.

And it all works fine!!!!

The thing I am wondering is if it is possible to share files between the two. To access files on the Mac from the XP Laptop, and vice versa?

I have (on the Mac) turned on Personal File Sharing, and have selected File Sharing under the LAN Network settings on the XP laptop.

But, I can't seem to get the two to 'talk' to eachother. The internet still works fine and shares with no issues.

Where is it I need 'to go' on both computers to access eachothers files.

Please can anyone help?

Cheers
Neil
