The checkbox is there. you neeed to go to system prefs, sharing, windows file sharing and you will find it there.

Hey folks. I have some things i ponder over, one of them being the following: I have a Pc that i want to be able to share files with from the Mac and viseversa. My plans are also to share my external hard drive over this network. I can reach the files in the shared folders of my pc, right enough, but when i try seeing my mac from my Pc i'm greeted by a login window where i must type my name and password. However, on the Mac Mini that i borrowed i could reach the folders on my Mac from the pc without having to type a name or a password, so what obvious thing am i doing wrong here, and what can i do to correct it? One strange thing is that the help mentions a check box in the "accounts" panel that says: "allow network users to log in to this machine" or somesuch, the strange thing is that this check box isn't there, i can't see it. I thought confusion was something that belonged in the windows world.:-) -- /Krister, utterly confused
