question: how do I share files, mostly mp3s, between a Mac and Windows PC computer?
I have 2 computers, a WinXP Pro system and a Mac OS 9.x (9.2 I think) laptop, that are currently networked together using a SMC router and sharing a cable internet connection. I can get both computers onto the internet, but cannot figure out how to share files (mostly mp3s from the WinXP computer to the Mac laptop). I've got good PC skills, and have successfully shared files between Windows-based computers before, but I'm at a loss as to setting up the Mac laptop. Both computers are able to get an IP from my router, both have the same workgroup name, and the WinXP computer has sharing enabled for some folders, but the Mac computer can't see any files on my PC and vice versa. I've searched this forum, and others, for Mac-PC networking and file sharing, but haven't found anything too useful yet.
btw: I'll gladly give out more info on my machines, stats, configs, etc if that will help.
thanks.
