[QUOTE="neiluk, post: 1000228, member: 144120"] 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 [/QUOTE]
