Hi,
Just moved to a new Mac and want to share a folder that now resides on my Mac with my old Windows XP laptop.
I have Leopard on the Mac, and have got as far as being able to access the Mac Public Folder (and it's Drop Box) from XP (via my DLINK router).
I am also able to pick up my external HD that's attached to the Mac (again from XP via the router) - so the connection itself seems fine to me.
But I can't for the life of me access a folder that I've put on the Mac, set up to be shared, & given read/write permissions.
I did just read something that said ONLY your public folder can be accessed by a windows machine. I attempted to get around this by moving my folder into the Public folder. I could then pick this up, but only READ from it (not write to it).
What I want is to read and write to this folder that sits on my Mac from both my Mac and my Windows XP laptop!
Please help!
Thanks,
Mark
