Hi Jane and Others,
Jonathan recently gave instructions on SMB file sharing. Here's the link to the archive post: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg06122.html You can read down the thread to his next comments with Control-N. It's been some time since I tried connecting to a Windows machine through Samba. The usual issue of getting into a Mac from a Windows machine is the security settings that you have to check under the File Sharing menu options in system preferences. Going from Mac to Windows is a bit easier, and you can try using Command-K "Connect to Server" command in Finder and typing in an SMB address (after following Jon's instructions) for the Windows computer on your network (e.g. smb://192.168.0.101) . Mac to mac, after taking care of File Sharing permissions to permit remote login or other features, use a similar address but with afp instead smb (Apple File-sharing Protocol instead of Samba).
