[QUOTE="GLJones, post: 26422, member: 3220"] KLank, you are correct. You probably need to set your mac to the same workgroup. If you know the workgroup name of the Windows systems, go into your applications>utilities>Directory Access You will have to unlock the window with your admin account name & password. Then click SMB then the CONFIGURE button. The top field on the resulting window is the workgroup name. Now, one note on networking with Windows machines. My network at home acts like this... I open the finder and click on Network (10.3.3). The Local Servers icon appears but that is all. If I wait (up to 60 seconds) the other Windows computers eventually appear. Be sure you give it time to "discover" the other machines. Jerry [/QUOTE]
