So it's safe to assume that you've set up the same workgroup name, and that you've got a static IP for both the G4 and the MDK box, ya? yes, that would be safe to assume. workgroup is simply, well, WORKGROUP (original, I know. :-) and they both have static ip's within my home lan. One other thing, that is probably fairly critical, I can see the printer shares on my G4 from the MDK box. just no file shares. --Gina Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Are the usernames in sync (not that this is strictly necessary)? Well, just to be sure, I did try disabling the firewall. Nothing. I also checked the permissions on the shared directory on my powerbook (yes, osx has chmod. One of the things I really like about it is that most of the CL tools are the same) I added searchability to the shared directories...still nothing. --Gina Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
