file sharing to wat and where?
basically u just need to enable personal file sharing under sharing.

vnc yes, you need timbuktu pro for the mac and pc.

i mean do file sharing in mac - pc - mac
is there any setting for mac?

its a little complicated to explain here. I think I explained a little in a different thread. Please search, thanks.

enable sharing on both platform. get the username & password for sharing of the PC.
on ur mac press CMD + K type in "smb://the PC computer name" or "smb://the IP address". then connect.

it'smore complicated to do it on the PC. hate winXP. simple things make difficult.

PC u need the Apple talk protocol install.
Did it once. it worked!

You dont even need AppleTalk protocol ,

Just go to system prefs , and select Sharing and then put a tick on Windows Sharing. OSX would load Samba and all those stuff

Once its done , go to Finder [aka Desktop] , select Go and select Connect to Server and type

smb://Computer name or smb://IP Address for example

smb://windows-948343 or smb://10.0.1.5

i think what antidote mean is to conenct from a PC to a Mac.
prasys, enable Window Sharing when u want to allow PC users to connect to your mac. And it doesnt load anything to the PC. You have to get ready all the stuff yourself on the PC end. And the guide u mentioned are for Mac to connect to a PC.
