I just connect to my desktop via smb://computername and all the shared folder appear as expected. How nice.

You don't have to remember anything. Go to Finder, press Command+K, type smb://192.168.1.xx or smb://computername and press the + button. Your PC's IP address or host name will be there until you remove it from the list.


RX, just try my method above, if that still doesn't work, PM me. We can test out the screen sharing iChat thing.

Your friends PC will not be able to see your machine in the network if you do it my way.

It works for me because I only have 3 machines here, 1 desktop, 2 notebooks, and all of them are using Fixed IPs.

That's the name of the computer that you're trying to connect to.

If it's a Windows XP machine, you can right click My Computer, Properties. Click on the Computer Name tab. It the one listed as Full computer name.

I can't remember how you do it in Vista, but it should be pretty similar.

On the Mac, it's under System Preferences, Sharing.

Hope that helps.

Out of the 54, you can only max out on 2? Something's wrong there.

Mine's performing OK lar, but nowhere near the speed of a LAN cable.
