Yes, Brian it should show up in the side bar & you either click to connect or in Finder - Under GO in Menu Bar > Connect to Server. What I'm confused about is your comment "AirPort status on the PB is showing 'computer-to-computer' on the iMAC 'On'." I thought you were sharing over the same Airport Network, but by that comment you have the PB not connected to your Airport Network but to a "Computer-to-computer" Network? All my computers are connected to my Wireless Network & I can connect & share files with all computers.
